Hi Everyone,
I had my Thyroid removed in 2011. It took me 4 years to fully recover. I was taking Levothyroxine in various doses and feeling terrible. My hands were swollen and burned through the night. My joints ached and it was difficult moving and just functioning. I changed to Whole Thyroid and a range of supplements. I have an exercise regime that includes breathing and 400 push-ups a week as well as swimming.I was 70 2 weeks ago. There is light through the tunnel if you believe.
Quick synthroid question
Taking synthroid with food?
Switching Back To Synthroid 
Yes I have changed to NDT. I believe it is the only option. Doctors still test for TSH. There is no Thyroid to test for. They should be testing for T3.
