Can your thyroid cause knees to ache at night?

Will taking medication for an under active thyroid make me lose weight?
As far as I know, my thyroid functions pretty normaly, but I was just wondering if taking these meds would speed up my weight loss? I'm already losing 1 2lbs a week through healthy eating and exercise, but I'd really like to speed it up for my holiday.I know it's probably not that good for me, but it'd only be for a month or so and I'll probably end up crash dieting if the healthy way isn't fast enough anyway so could I just have an honest answer? no judging please 3

Regarding under active thyroid, has anyone ever tried Thyroid t-3 Absolute Nutrition? any feedback/reviews?
I believe I have a major issue concerning my thyroids. According to the Dr who i met with explained to me that my results came out normal and then basically brushed me off in a nice way. After doing my own research and speaking with other people who have Thyrodism i realized that i for sure have an under active thyroid or a very very low normal thyroid. Ive tried everything to find a solution for my symtoms... depression, loss of hair, very low energy, and major weight gain... The worse part for me was noticing the crazy amount of weight that i gained and theres NOTHING that i can do to fix it My metabolism just stopped?? I think i might have an imbalance which is causing me to gain so much weight. If anyone has any recommendations please feel free to drop a few med names out there that can help w my issues. Thank you

Underactive thyroid gland?
I've recently become aware of the condition of having an under active thyroid gland, and after doing some more research i've noticed i seem to have quite a few of the symptoms and would appreciate any opinionsok for starters, i'm a 14 year old girl so excuse my lazy spelling punctuation. for the past few years my weight has very much been up and down, as a child i was thin normal, then age 9 i began to gain alot of weight with no chances to my lifestyle. i began puberty very early, beginning my period at the age of 10 years and about 2 months. by this age i was already 5 foot 3. i was far more 'curvy' and 'developed' than all the girls in my class, thus making me very self concious. through the last year of primary school i would say i was a womens size 14 roughly. however i had enough of being chubby and began losing weight through the last months. high school began in september and this is where my weight problem really came to light. believing i was fat, i would excessively exercise and miss breakfast, throw away my sandwiches for dinner, then try and miss tea, or eat a very low calorie meal. by parents began getting concerned but i assured them i was not starving myself. i must have lost around 3 stone within the space of several months, and i began wearing womens clothes size 6 8. i was much happier with my new thinner self. however, now not realising how easy it was to gain the weight back, i began binge eating. and when i say binge eating, i mean binge eating all through year8 i gained weight, then by the end of year8 i was back up to a size 12. i am still on the diet now which i began in around december 2011. i eat a healthy breakfast, salad sandwiches at school , some fruit when i get home and then my tea.i am very cautious of what i eat, like i wont touch macdonalds or chocolate or fried food, etc. ontop of this i do pilates everyday, extra curriculum sport and have sessions on our cross trainer. at my heaviest in 2011 i was over 10 and a half stone, i am now down to about 9 and a half, but go between that and about 9 stone 4 pounds. however i have reached a point where i dont seem to be losing any more weight even though i exercise well and have a good balanced diet... ok now to the idea of having an underactive thyroid gland, for a year now i have had very dry, sore eyes,which caused me to develop an on and off habit of blinking very fast and hard. i have a sufficient amount of sleep every night, having around 8 hours on a school night and 12 on a weekend. however all through the day i still feel extremely tired, drained and lousy. i have an unusually deep voice for a girl, which i have had a few comments about but everyones used to it now. i get very paranoid about things i worry wayyyyy too much my periods are very heavy, painful and irregular. i have dry skin on my legs, arms and in particular on my hands, my legs even look slightly scaley. with the eating though, ive noticed my friends eat fuck loads more than me, but still remain very thin i have a fairly muscular build.. which i also get questioned about how i am so muscly for a girl.. which i don't know why. i get fairly depressed at times, however i think that just all comes with hormones & i don't know if this is relevant, but i havnt grown in height or shoe size since starting my period,which i think is in my genes. i am also unaware whether i have any family history of thyroid problems.i apologise for writing so much and just to mention if your going to give me a lecture on how i'm only 14 and shouldn't be dieting etc its more of a lifestyle change than a diet, and my parents are aware obviously and are supporting me for being sensible in trying to get myself healthy without taking it too extreme.thanks
