I had thyroid surgery several months ago, and have not felt any ill effects other than scar on my neck. In the next month they will run blood tests and I'll find out if I need to start taking any meds.

NP has both T3 and T4. I feel much better on NP and synthroid. Synthroid only has T4.

Welcome, @livi05. Calibrating the right dosage of thyroid medication is a journey. Have you talked to your endocrinologist about your weight and workout performance? What kind of workouts do you do?
