A member asked:

I have a lot of fatigue, muscle weakness, fainting spells. diagnosis hypothyroidism but months on synthroid (thyroxine) brings little help. my dr's are clueless.

Not thyroid?: If you're taking brand name replacement and the levels have been normal for several mos., the symptoms you're experiencing are not due to your thyroid - and you must have your doctors look at other potential disorders, which we cannot do over the internet.
