Hypothyroidism Support

emrod83

Hello Everyone!
Back in late 2010 1/2 of my thyroid was removed due to goiters and the hope was that the other half would take over. I've been borderline since the operation but the last blood test I took wasn't so great and my doctor finally put my on meds. I have been fighting this because the thought of being on a pill for the rest of my life scared me. But it has gotten to the point where I know I am not myself anymore. I am on day 5 and so far no change but my doctor did say that it could take from 2-6 weeks to start feeling better.

I just wanted to quickly share my story and welcome any tips, suggestions or advice as I start my journey with Hypothyroidism. Anything I can expect as I start on the medication?
Do you take it first thing in the morning or just before bed?
Anyone feel a difference between brand and generic?
Did it make it easier to loose weight?
How long did it take for you to start feeling better?


Thanks for your help guys!!
