hypo w/neck pain

I saw endo last week and forgot to mention now and again I have pain front and center about where my thyroid is located. Not bad, but annoying. It never hurts when the dr. checks my thyroid. Last week after the appointment my neck was sore on one side and more toward my jaw line, I figured just a lymph node maybe fighting a mild infection or something, no fever or difficulty swallowing.I couldn't really decide if it was swollen or if I was just being overly sensitive.
I've been on 0.025mcg Synthroid since Nov 2nd and my symptoms(skin, hair, bowels, cold, muscle aches etc.) were better for a short time but as my body adjusted to the medication went back to same level of symptoms as prediganosis. I had a hard time convincing her last week I needed more meds, but my TSH went up a bit (was 2.6 now 3.1) and she agreed to alternate 0.05mcg every other day. I have been on that for a week and see no change yet, hoping to see a change in another week or two.
thanks,
Pam

I have hypo and have had problems with neck pain, sluggishness, joint pain(everywhere) and i really didn't know what to do. The synthroid I'm taking isn't doing anything but keeping two levels out of the three down to normal. Recently though I found something that has changed my life and I'm sharing it with everyone that has hypo, high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Since I've been taking it my energy levels are up, my joint pain is gone, and I'm sleeping so much better! I wish i could share it with the world but well, for now, I'll just share it one person at a time. You can read more about it at me and my husbands website monavida.com. Hope this helps. Jackie
