I am also Hypo. I believe I my thyroid was "damaged" by a particular medication that I shouldn't have been on. I originally gained 18lbs in 16 days. Extreme fatigue, hair falling out, bloating, joints hurting..... I am on Synthroid as well but am looking to get on Armour instead. I have since gained over 60lbs going from a size 4 to a 16.

Something else to look into is getting a food allergy test done. Having them test the norms but also test for soy... (google soy, soy/cancer..scary) you will be surprised at how similar the symptoms are. We don't think of food allergies unless we have hives and our throats are closing in on us... just a thought!

I hope you don't have anything to do with hypothyroid or hyper for that matter. It is in my opinion one of the hardest things I've had to go through... and still going through. Its hard to explain it to others because you don't necessarily "look" sick.
