Well I saw the endo again today, and he did an ultrasound-- it is dead, after what that entirely means was explained to me, its my understanding that things should get much better from here on out. Primarily because hashi swings back and forth things should in theory stay relatively the same now.

He increased my medication a little bit after looking at my diet and exercise habits, and for the most part I have felt much much better than when I was on just synthroid with the exception of being constipated. And he said that will go away too

I guess since its dead and doesn't make any hormones anymore its good that I am on a full replacement

Oh man, it has been an awful ride so far fuzzipeg, an awful awful ride. I was seen by my PCM (I have tricare) originally for this and put on synthroid (t4 only) and denied for over a year and a half to see a specialist. Saw a specialist after being fed up and feeling sick by seeking refuge through other channels. I was working out (still am) for I aim for 10 hrs a week, usually hit at least 7 to try to get the weight off, during the swings I would lose, if not I would gain.

First thing the specialist did was say lets see what this will do (the natural thyroid) and schedule a scan in 2 months, started feeling better on the NDT, and then I had my scan and here I am now. I'll see how it goes, the endo seems very confident that things will not change as I see him again in june
