    Hi everyone,
    I was recently diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, after about a year of symptoms (exhaustion, weight gain, thinning hair, dry skin, goitre etc).

    Ive been reading previous threads which have been so helpful! I have been started on 50mg of Eltroxin a day. I feel absolutely terrible at the minute, completely exhausted and wanting to sleep 14 hrs a day plus naps (not possible with busy college and job). I'm just wondering if there is anything i can do to make myself feel a bit better til the tablets kick in?

    I havent been able to run for months as too exhausted, but im willing to try anything! Also the side effects for Eltroxin arent great, tummy etc, I'd really appreciate anyones experience or advice?

    Thanks a million!

    there's an entire thread on thyroid issues on the front page of the forum. please post your queries there rather than starting a new thread.
