just diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
last week i was diagnosed officially with hypothyroidism. my doc gave me synthroid. i read up about this medication online, and the more i read about hypothyroidism the more discouraged i get. it seems that it's not easy to reverse your symptoms, just because someone is on synthroid, or another medication. has anyone had success with this? anyone been able to lose weight and stop losing hair, get warmer, etc? also, does eating soy and high fiber foods really affect your meds? anyone have any experience with this? please help me!

Just to reassure you - synthroid (aka thyroxine) is not some scary synthetic pharmaceutical - it's exactly the same hormone that your thyroid should naturally be making. You are just getting a bit of a top-up. Once your dose is sorted out (which can take months) you should be back to normal. There are lots of anecdotes about individual people having problems absorbing thyroxine when they have a lot of soy, but I don't know whether it affects everyone. There is a lot of garbage written on the internet about hyothyroidism, so don't do too much reading!
