hashimoto's disease
"I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about seven years ago, nine months after giving birth.  I was so tired, losing hair, had terrible brain fog and was very irritable.  My doctor placed me on Levoxyl 110.  My symptoms went away fairly quickly (2 weeks) but then I started having panic attacks.  She reduced me to 88mcg and the anxiety went away.  I stayed on that dose for the next seven years.  Though my blood work showed normal, I was still always cold, found it hard to wake up in the mornings and would feel lethargic after workouts.  I convinced my new doctor to let me try the next higher dose - 100mcg.  I feel so much better now.  My feet are never cold, I don't lose hair and I am back to being a morning person. Blood work AND symptoms must be addressed."
