Under active thyroid?

[xXhayleyXx]

Any one else suffer with this? After constantly going back and fouth to my doctors with unexplained joint pains and carpel tunnel syndrome (have to wear wrist braces on both arms ) they finally decided to do a blood test to check my thyroid gland was functioning as it should. The results show that i have an extremely underactive thyroid and will have to be put on tablets to control it . Any one else take tablets for it? Not too keen on having to always take them and wondered if anyone had had side effects with them?
Only good thing is u qualify for free prescriptions if ur put on them lol

I have an underactive thyroid...it's borderline and thankfully hasn't changed in the 7 years since I was diagnosed. I found out after I miscarried my first pregnancy. Amazing how much the thyroid controls. Blood pressure, energy levels, sex drive, moods and even viable pregnancies.

I take tablets daily and there are absolutely no side effects.

Glad to hear there are no side effects. Had one lot of blood done the other week and my results came back 11.3 i think. Should sit between 2 and 5? Just waiting for my second lot to come back to make sure the first ones were right. Hoping once i start on the tablets that i feel alot better than i have been feeling for sooooo long now. Seems to of been one thing after another. Very Reassuring that there are no side effects on the tablets tho xx

Thats why they decided to do the extra blood test to check my thyroid. Gets soooo bad at night and wearing the wrist braces suck big time
