Anyone here have hypothyroidism?

[Deleted member 4991]

I had this problem as a teen and it delayed my growth spurt heavily. I had to go on some medication called synthroid. I haven't been on the meds for like 4 years - does anyone here take such medication for the thyroid?

All old people are hypothyroid. I take 30mg day armor thyoid aka npthyroid.. i think syntyroid is a generic of those.

What happens when you don't take it, how do you feel

At the time I was with a pediatrician, she said I didn't need them anymore but I don't buy it. I think ima see a doctor soon.

I do not feel noticeably different. My body fat increases though. I am 11-12% with the thyroid. Probably would be 13-14% without it.
