Anyone suffering from a Thyroid Issue?

My previous doctor wanted me to get my thyroid checked after being on a weight loss journey for a year and only losing three pounds. That was with a food diary, vigorous exercise routine and being a parent to a toddler. I got the blood work done and it came back that my T4 cells looked like I had a thyroid problem. I was to meet with my doctor a week later to see about options for treatment. But I then accidentally (on bc) got pregnant. It was after my blood work but they said they couldn't be sure so they wouldn't treat me. Well here I am 4 months post partum and am trying to convince my new doctor to order blood work as I'm in the same boat. He won't and doesn't believe me.

Anyone else deal with this stuff? Did you find treatments helped? And what were they like? I'm also really hoping for more energy as I haven't had that in years.

I've recently been diagnosed with low thyroid. I'm first working on it through lifestyle changes alone and then in a few weeks I'll be retested and we'll think about drugs if necessary. You have other alternatives to find out if there's something wrong!

Feel free to friend me and we can chat!

I TRIED TO COPY THE LINK, BUT THIS WAS THE BEST I COULD DO. THE SITE IS MedicineNet.com. and I chose the topic hypothyroidism. PLEASE READ - I have NEVER heard of LifeStyle changes that can cure a real thyroid problem. Synthetic thyroid replacement is used. Physicians need to check not only TSH, but also T3, T4, and free T4 to determine how much drug is needed. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?articlekey=914

Good luck!!
