Hello, new here, hypoT for two years. My top 5 thyroid symptoms still remaining, much to my annoyance after two years on 75 mcg thyroxine are-

1). Sheer and utter yawningly exhaustion.

2). Breathlessness which slows me down in daily tasks and prevents me from doing much exercise.

3). Constipation...(won't go into the details) but most of you get the picture I would imagine.

4). Weight gain which has increased since being on thyroxine and in itself is causing further health problems.

5). Painful feet which is caused by the dry skin on my soles and my feet getting hot very easily. Also my right foot is permanently hotter, redder and swells more than my left.

Sorry, more than five I iknow, but I expect like everyone else, sometimes its more one thing one day and and something else tomorrow..

I am still undiagnosed by a doctor as my bloods are always in range. But I have had a 24 hour urine analysis done just recently which shows I am well under the range for T3.. Anyone else had this test? I am working with a nutritionist on this now and am currently on the Candida diet, 4th week.. feel rubbish at the moment but assume its to do with die off.

Panic Attacks

Insomnia

Dizziness

A few more, but these are the most disabling and troublesome for me.
