[QUOTE="scotlady, post: 1535670, member: 123816"] I've been Type 1 for 48 years and taking Levothyroxine for about 25. My GP at the time reckoned you were likely to be hypothyroid if you met the four Fs: fair-skinned, female, fertile, forty+ . I was, and was also miserable - tired, cold, depressed, hair coming out like mad, depleting eyebrows, dry skin. My sister, also type 1, also needed thyroxine and so did our father. I now take 125mcg and results indicate it as being too much but without it I feel dire. Had a recent bone density scan as thyroxine can effect it but it was OK. It does take while to start feeling better on the Thyroxine tabs and getting the dose right with tests every few months. [/QUOTE]
