Hi Hoorea, Can you please provide a little more info on yor experience with menopause and hypothyroidism? Looks like your post was cut off a bit. Thanks.

I was placed on a low dose of synthroid and go back in a month for more labs. I wanted to know if there is something other than this form of treatment perhaps a new drug that is used to treat this condition.

Although my thyroid appeared to be problematic, so far, all tests show nothing. But, the symptoms definitely didn't start until the onset of menopause for me.
