I recently discovered that generic thyroid meds are NOT the same as the brand name. How do I know that? When my hair started falling out, started gaining weight rapidly and had very little energy, I said something to my doctor. And yep, generic is not the same. So, I switched back to Synthroid and the hair loss has slowed, but the energy comes and goes.
Last week I had tons of energy and really made things happen. Today my brain is foggy and all I want to do is sleep. The result of my thyroid not working right, I started “cheating” with the foods I know are toxic to me. Not wheat, never wheat, it hurts me, but dairy, soy and eggs. Now my body is achy again. I thought it was the wheat. Surprise!
So, I’m starting over and making myself follow the healthy diet and taking my supplements (gag). I hate taking a handful of pills everyday, but right now it is necessary. I do feel the difference when I am taking them.
