Welcome to all members of our Thyroid Tribe, new and old. It is lovely to have you here as a part of our community! 🤗

Why do so many thyroid patients not get better on Synthroid or Levothyroxine? Keep reading to discover this essential information our doctors do not tell us.

This newsletter goes out on Thursdays and is the best way to keep up to date with all my work in the thyroidsphere and hear directly from me without relying on social media algorithms.

I hope you'll find this issue inspiring, reassuring and practical in your own journey back to good health with Hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s.

Each of my newsletters include a blend of thyroid research, events, news, articles, discounts, tips and links to popular social media posts from the last week. Happy reading!

- Rachel 🦋

Thursday Thoughts

How many of us start thyroid meds and then wonder “Am I the only one these aren’t working for?”

Yes, believe it or not but T4-only thyroid hormone replacement medications such as Levothyroxine and Synthroid do not work for everyone.

I continued to have ongoing fatigue, depression, muscle pain, brain fog, daily migraines and SO much more on t4-only meds, and this is the same for many others, too. I am not unique in this experience.
