    Hypothyroidism, amenorrhoea ( lost my period for a year now), pcos, low estrogen, insulin resistance ofcourse!
    I'm shocked by the number of all of us going through this.. I was doing keto for a month now, but the last few days after I started taking hormones to induce my period I've been sugar binging like a maniac! :disappointed:
    I hate primolut nor, i hate it sooo much.
    I'm not giving up, and neither should any of you. It can be horribly hard, I get it, but in time it will get easier, hang in there, be selfish and take care of your body, push yourself as hard as you can. F*** hormones, make your mind and will power stronger than your disorders!

    This has been super emotional for me... even though it was confirming what I felt deep down what I already knew.. I mean yes Ive been tested before but its hard to actually catch because it goes up and down right. And my mom had hers removed so I remember that about her and her issues.
    I consider myself more physically fit than most people I know, i can run a 5km, I eat pretty good. But it was never enough. It would be seriously impossible to lose weight I had to basically starve myself to get any movement.
    I actually know so little about this stuff , I'm just learning as I go. The only thing I am taking for these issues at the moment is an iodine supplement called "Min-Tran" , Adrenplus 300, and Betaine (hydrochloride) for the stomach acid part. Its funny because I had really bad heart burn in my teens, and they put me on Nexium. I ended up being allergic to it. So here we are. Treated for too much acid when I actually have the opposite problem. I'm going to try this for a month and get another check up.

    I have hashimoto's thyroiditis (low functioning thyroid). I take my meds every day and am able to lose weight; it's just that the fatigue is more of a challenge than anything else, currently. On my good days, I feel pretty normal. Before I was diagnosed, I could look at a cake and gain 10 pounds. Since beginning treatment, that's not quite the case anymore. ;)

    In short, keep talking until a doctor believes you and helps you find the right treatment plan for you! It took me 4 doctors before one was willing to consider something other than just depression as my problem.
