I had all the classic symptoms of hypOthyroid, but like you, I was skin and bones. Idiots kept wondering if I had an eating disorder, sigh. No problem with that now. I'm on Cytomel. Most docs put folks on Synthroid. Some take Armour, and those that do usually love it. I couldn't take it cause I got horrible headaches, and really bad eye problems with it.
I have been fortunate in that, of all the different medications that I take regularly, my thyroid medicine is the one that gives me NO problems...
I have never heard of Cytomel---just Synthroid and the Levoxyl that I am taking...is Cytomel the same, just a different brand?
