Hello, I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism in the last week after being told three times in the last year that my thyroid was normal but my TSH levels were abnormal. I have been told very little of what to expect by my GP. for the last year I have become very sluggish and want to sleep most of the time and my memory is shot to pieces. I have also really struggled with bad lower back pain and what I thought was carpel tunnel syndrome which is the reason I went back to my GP. it is only now that a new doctor has re tested me. this site has really helped to shine some light on the condition for me. as well as the usual symptoms I have had stomach problems with certain foods. is this also a symptom?. my doctor informs me that my thyroid is inactive and that my TSH level is 40. I have been taking levo for seven days now and feel awful. I've read lots of posts about when and what not to eat. I also suffer from acid reflux but the advice is not to take proton pump inhibitors within three hours of taking Levo. this is also a massive issue for me. the doctor did a second blood test but I am in the dark over this as yet. any advice is greatly appreciated.
