Yes. I have for about 20 or so years. I have hypothyroid (thanks, mom). Meds worked like a charm for me. I go in to get my levels checked every year or two other than that, I pop a synthroid and all is good.

i haven't tried it yet...am hesitant to take it but i am having awful low thyroid symptoms and may have to just break down and take it. so i am wondering what other people's experience with it has been. Cheryl, would it be ok if i pm you with questions about it? -------------------- |

Yeah those do sound like the symptoms to me - but you better go get a blood test and be sure

well, here's the thing--my blood tests always come up normal but my doc suspected that i still had low thryoid so she sent me to get the radioactive tests done and that showed that i was right on the border, so both the doc and the radiologist doing the test thought i needed synthroid because being on the cusp is reason enough but because i was on the cusp and because the blood test was normal i didn't want to take it but i still am on the low side and now i have these symptoms...idk what to do but i do know that i hate feeling like this, i'm like a walking train wreck.
