Are you on any other drugs?  I know my thyroid goes really out of wak like that when I'm on different prescriptions.  Also, watch the amount of calcium you take in a day.  I was told to never take my synthroid with any form of calcium.  I guess this coates the thyroid medication causing it to not work correctly.  Sorry, I'm not a Dr nor do I ever wish to be, but I can tell you it happens to me frequently.  I'm so screwed up that when I am tired and want to sleep I'm wide awake and unable to!  I would maybe try checking out a new Dr. for a second opinion.  Good Luck!

There are some signs and symptoms of thyroid problems, but no diagnostic way of confirming without blood work.\nLook up hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on web for some of the signs.

I think you should ask your doctor about poly cystic ovarian disease and if he will check your thyroid.  Good Luck.

are you sure he meant that the fact that you will always have to take medicine will never go  away? that's something i will have to do for the rest of my life, is take 1 pill a day for my thyroid problem.\ni've answered your other questions, but i am also going to answer here in case anyone would be intersted that reads your question.\n\ni have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nanyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nif you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

Honey have you been checked for hyperthyroidism? You say you eat all the time but dont gain weight, have the doc check you for anything that could be causing that first, if you havent already. \nDONT just go and eat fatty foods, that will just end up giving you health problems. Try more proteins and meats (if your not a vegetarian), maybe get a weight building supplement from a health store.

go see an endocrinologist.\nArmour thyroid is a POOR form of replacement , and you can become sensitized to it. In addition to that TSH goal now is about 2.0. You are underreplaced and on the wrong product. Get on levothyroxine and the doctor will adjust dose to TSH 2.0, you really should not do the supplements!

Is she overweight or put a  lot of weight on recently or is she losing weight?\nShe may have an under or over active thyroid, if so she will need to have blood tests.\n\nMy Mom had this (overactive) her voice went really hoarse and her hair came out in clumps and her face went unrecognisable. She went to the doctor and had to have loads of blood tests and was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid.\n\nShe took thyroxine tablets every day for the rest of her life which controlled it.

Please don't worry yet...until you get a second opinion. It's like a pap....(if you're a girl) you may have an abnormal pap, get a second one done, and you're fine...but on the other hand, you can have a problem. BUT! You don't know until you get the second opinion/test done.\nIn the meantime, here's some information & great links...especially ones that have to do with cancer & understanding thyroid problems more!\n\nI have low thyroid. I have had it for 10 years. I came about after I had my second child. Most people can do well, but myself, if I even miss a day or two, I get super tired, and VERY cranky.

These don't sound like symptoms of an underactive thyroid.  You can read the book by Mary Shoman titled:  Living well with Hypothyroidism.  it should give you a lot of information and ideas of what to do if it is actually your thyroid.  It will also help you talk to your doctor.

May be worth getting your thyroid levels checked. My sister had same symptom and she has been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Do you feel tired/lthargic, putting on/loosing weight. back pain, these are other sypmtoms of thyroid probs. Hopefully its not this but worth speaking to your dr and get your levels checked.\nGood luck

The trigger level for declaring a patient with hypothyroidism is in some dispute as it has been decreasing rather rapidly for the last several years. Generally TSH levels falling above about 4 - 4.5 mIU/L is more often being considered indicative of a hypoactive thyroid in populations with normal balanced diets. That's all I can tell you, and I'm not a medical doc.

1 in 8 women has thyroid disease so I would be surprised if that were true.  If your doctor won't work with you, find a new one.  You could use an OB/GYN or a midwife.  FYI, I have hypothyroidism (though it sounds like you have hyper-) and so far have two perfectly healthy children.  Good luck!
