I found out last March that I had no thyroid function at all. My symptoms were DEPRESSION, weepiness, fatigue!, hair loss, lots of aches and pains, bloating, loss of appetite (but gain of weight), etc. I thought I was losing it! Finding out about my thyroid disease was actually a relief.
It did take about 9 months for me to start feeling fairly normal again...tweaking of the dosage was the big thing. I'm hovering around 3 right now which I still think is a little high, but the doc I have now thinks it's fine. I was found to be very anemic back in December...a time-released iron supplement prescription has helped immensely...more than the synthroid.
Don't expect treatment to help right away...your body has a lot to recover from. Anemia is also another symptom of thyroid disease, so make sure you are checked for that.
