Hello guys , its been a while since my latest post . I made a thyrodictomy due to follicular thyroid cancer ,I have been on eltroxin brand and never really felt good at it lost most of my hair , had extreme fatigue , cognitive malfunction , sleepiness, heat intolerance and memory issues . After three and half years I changed to Euthyrox brand and got really better , but i am no way close to optimal . after 6 month I added t3 and it gave me a boost but i am still having symptoms . my question is if it is possible for some people to never really feel good /optimal or i am crazy ? . I know this might make me look like i am a bad person but i really hope that i am not alone like this :s .

You are NOT A BAD PERSON!

Feeling unwell on a daily basis is no fu.

I fully emphasise with you. Sending lots of love your way. X

Why would that make you a bad person? It does happen. Sometimes the answer becomes apparent when the full facts are known - blood test results, dosing, nutrient levels, adrenals, etc. Sometimes we never find out why, because it's all so much more complicated than doctors imagine. But, yes, it does happen, I'm afraid. Can you give us more details?

Hi I can only take Eltroxin as other levo products make me feel like you. I do take a daily supplement which certainly helps me Nutri Advanced Thyro complex. I know when I have missed the supplement. I feel very angry about everything. What other meds are you taking as they can affect the way the eltroxin works? Take your levo tablet(s) before you eat in a morning.
