many times symptoms of one disorder (such as hypothyrodism) are also the same symptoms seen in other conditions. your doctor has probably rechecked your thyroid levels since starting synthriod therapy. your thyroid levels will continue to be monitored 1 or 2 x's per year and the dosage may be tweaked up or down. so we may eliminate the thyroid and menapause as causes of your discomfort. some other medical conditions that have symptoms as you describe include: iron deficiency anemia (blood related cause) graves disease (endocrine system related) vitiamin b12 deficiency (dietary related cause) and others. i suspect that your doctor will run additional blood studies based upon your symptoms and perhaps refer you to other medical specialists as necessary.
i'vebeen dx'd with hypothroidism and am taking levothroxine for approx 3yrs but my symtoms remain the same. i have cold feet and hands hair loss dry skin depression and lack of energy i was put on synthriod 3 months ago and had the worse hot flashes(15-25) and night sweats(at least 5). mood swings like never before. i had gone thru menopause after having a hysterectomy 14 years ago but doctor says there is no relation between the the synthroid and my hot flashes and night sweats. what could be the problem? any info would be appreciated. marlene@bachfamily. net.
