New - I hate my thyroid gland!

dswood100

Been on thyroid meds for 2 years. 6 mths ago it went totally out of whack - med increased 300%, started jogging and got a stress fracture in my hip - crutches. Gained 25 pounds in the meantime. Starting Yoga Sunday and my diet tomorrow and started thyroir helper today. Anyone else have thyroid problems?

Oh ya, im hypothyroid since 14, (Im now 50), so ive been takeing meds forever! My dosage is low though, but its amazing even at a low dose, if i miss a few days, i'll do nothing but sleep.

yes I also have thyroid problems (hypothyroid) . It is really hard to regulate the dr keeps changing my dose. Especially with losing weight it is hard to adjust the dosage, since I lost weight I need a lower dose, but still not sure if it is right,. I will find out when I do the next blood test. Health problems sure can get in the way of losing weight. I also have fibromyalgia and when I was first put on meds I gained 40lbs in 3 months. Hang in there it will come off
