I have been doing a lot of research as I am now part of the
Synthroid Club. I am 47 and was diagnosed a year ago. My last visit
with my PCP was quite depressing; she told me to exercise more, change my diet, and lose weight (my total cholesterol was 203, my triglycerides when from 68 to 128, and had I gained 2 pounds). I mentioned to her that I was feeling down, kind of depressed, unmotivated, lacking energy, and feeling tired, but she just did not put 2 and 2 together.
