Kitty, from what you have posted here, you do not have an extreme thyroid condition.
I get my levels tested every other year, since I don't have any of the old symptoms of hypo.
But my problem is not your problem.
Symptoms for hypothyroid are pretty common and can be confused with other things.
In my case I had orange skin of palms and soles of the feet and that was very diagnostic--and I also had a goiter. But fatigue, depression, feeling cold, losing hair, etc that can be due to many things other than thyroid.
You can feel cold from propranolol, and I posted that for you several weeks ago on the RSD forum.
Taking the hormone does not work instantly, and you may take several weeks to see any changes. They are typically slow.
