Constant, crushing, severe fatigue with hypothyroidism; what can I do for more energy??

I too have hypothyroidism, if you just started taking the synthroid it will take your body a while to adjust to it. It took me atliest 3 to 4 months to start feeling better and about a year to start loosing the weight.I used to have muscle aches and chronic fatigue until I changed my diet. I now drink lots of water and mainly eat foods high in fiber. Coffee and caffeinated drinks only make my fatigue even worse so I avoid drinking them. I stay away from stressful situations because if I get too upset my muscles start aching real bad. Take your medicine on an empty stomach at the same time each day and don't eat for atliest an hour after, to give the medicine enough time to absorb into your system. I don't feel 100% all the time but it minimizes my symptoms tremendously. I hope I helped, I know how hard it is to live with hypothyroidism, I too have a young child to look after.
