Hypo: Hypothyroid. But make sure you get complete testing done. Check free T3 and reverse t3. Ft3 should be in upper range and rt3 in lower range. If your ratio is off, you may need Armour Thyroid or t3, and synthroid (thyroxine) would be the wrong med for you. Also check thyroid antibodies.

Hypothyroidism: You have hypothyroidism. Get a free T4 and thyroid antibodies drawn to determine the cause. See your physician to start thyroid treatment. Good luck.
