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?

    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
