I'm a 63 year old female. My thyroid was removed because of cancer. All is well, cancer was contained in Nodules. My synthroid was just upped to 175 and about one hour after taking it in the morning on an empty stomach I get sleeply and have to take a nap.
Is anyone having this problem? Also, I've gained weight. I read pamplets that say "don't take thyroid medications to lose weight.
Is anyone who has had thyroid removal actually losing weight? If so, what dose are you taking?
