Introducing myself

Options
Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was about 15 (I am 27 now). I am currently taking Levothyroxine 75mg daily.

Over the years my weight has crept up and now I am making a conscious effort to lose it. I wanted to join this group for support and to educate myself on how realistic it is to lose weight with this condition, and the timescales needed.

I'd also like to offer my support to anyone who may need it, and my help in whatever I am capable of doing.

Good luck to everyone in their journey.

Christabel

    Hi,
    I had a complete hysterectomy at 30 and was diagnosed hypothyroid just two years ago. I was on synthroid .50 up on till 2 weeks ago when I switched to desiccated thyroid 60 mg. I am wondering whether anyone has had a good experience with this medication and with any weight loss success.
    Thanks
