Does Sythroid Cause Fatigue, Dizziness And Cramps In The Leg?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis about 12 years ago. I take .75 synthroid daily. For the last 6 months I have been experiencing markedly more fatigue and leg/foot cramping. Do you think this is related to my condition. In an attempt to help my energy I have been going to exercise classes and trying to stay active. I become dizzy quite often during class during anything that requires up and down movement. I am 5 6 and weight around 150 and at age 57 have kept in pretty good shape most of my life. However, that seems to put me to bed for a day or so afterwards..I must say I have kept up with it for 2 months hoping the consistency would help, it hasn t. I do have an appointment with an endocrinologist the end of the month. What kind of questions should I ask?
