Hypothyroidism-Do any of you have it?

[wannaduacentury]

I just found out today my thyroid level is a little low.
The doctor put me on levothyroxin. Does anyone out there take this and if so, can you still exercise at your same level as before? Do you have any side effects?
Thanks.

I do, but I was born w/o a thyroid, so I've always used thyroxin. I didn't have to make any physical exercise adjustments. I am blessed through genes w/ having a fast metabolism though, so I like that I get checkups twice a year to keep my levels even. Jenn
