Chris, I was diagnosed with low tyroid about a month ago. I found this out going to a check up about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I did have addisons, took cortef for 3 years, adrenals started coming back, off cortef then in hospital with phemonia(sp) back on cortef but only 5mg. Dr. took me off and I was doing OK then low thyroid. Went on Armour 60mg. 2 a day. Within the last month I have felt like I have been on the steroids again. Have gained 10 pound in like a week, facial hair has gone wild again and have gotten the moon face, again. Very tired, dry skin, and hair is thinning. But I am not on any steroid. Do you know if this could be caused from my thyroid? or thyroid medication? I am going tomarrow for a bunch of new blood work. I am totally confused. Any suggestions
