Q: Persisting Hypothyroidism?

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in the fall of 2005 and have been on medication since. I have recently upped my dosage to 75mg of levoxyl. I have been on this new medication for nearly a month now, and just as always with my medications, my symptoms of hypothyroidism still persist. My blood tests were supposedly normal, but the overall hair loss, body hair loss, dry skin and fatigue still persist. In addition to these problems, I have had constant head pain for nearly 2 years now. I have been to a neurologist, had my eyes checked, and had an mri; yet my head continues to hurt. I am a 20 year old student who recently took a quarter off to resolve the constant mind fog symptom, among others. I am now back at school and I still feel not well. I exercise at the gym nearly 4 times a week and eat fairly heathly... Yet the head pain is constant. I am nearly at the end of my rope, as this has absolutely ruined my normally confident life style. What is going on? Why am I having this head pain?? Do these symptoms resolve? I need help soon.
