Is this normal?!?!?!? Just started levothyroxin.

Hi all looking for some guidance on my situation. I was initially diagnosed with hypo-t when I was 12, but stopped the meds when I was around 14-15 (22 now) because well I was young and stupid and knew nothing about hypo-t, I just knew it was a drag to take pills. So I suffered with the hair loss, weight gain, fatigue, pretty much all the symptoms until now. Went to the dr. Cuz the symptoms were getting to me pretty bad a week ago, the dr made me do blood work (still waiting) and gave me a prescription to Levo which is I believe 0.1mg which isn't much right? Well anyways he gave the prescription on the spot because I told him the symptoms were pretty bad. This is the 4th day of my on them and I'm experiencing body aches, moodiness, anger, insomnia, and I hear my bones make cracking noises a lot when I move. Not sure if this is normal, and I just need time to adjust because I haven't been on them for a really really long time, but idk I think I need some advice. Thnx.

Sorry that you have had no answers as yet. Are you saying that you are on 100mcg's of levo? and have you got any thyroid function at all?
