What Are The Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism?
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism in July and started on synthroid 25 mcg. I feel awful. I am extremely tired, having headaches, brain fog, my plantar fasciitis is now acting up. I have an appt on October 3 with an endocrinologist but in the mean time my PCP nor my GYN won't change my meds because my labs are normal. I am getting depressed from feeling so bad. I just had labs redrawn this weekend and again they won't change anything and I can't even get the endocrinologist office to call me back
