    I had a total thyroidectomy, so that makes me hypothyroid. You can add me if you like. Also there is a hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism group on MFP also.

    I am seeing a naturopath for hashimotos! I'm not sure how the synthetic compares to the natural thyroid, but I have no complaints! Before I started taking it, I was soooo fatigued and sluggish, and couldn't lose any weight :/

    Has anyone read up on the links between Cialic Disease and hypothyroidism? I came across an article the other day. It would seem that in people that are gluten sensitive, the gluten triggers an autoimmune response where the body attacks the thyroid. I read a little further and many sources suggested that if you are hypo it might be of benefit to go gluten free. Does anyone have an experience with this or have any thoughts they could share?

    Yes!!! I heard the same thing. I have been gluten free for about 2 years and started because of Hashimotos. From what I understand, gluten "looks like" thyroid, so when you eat it, your body attacks your thyroid.

    Not only that, but I feel 10x better being off gluten.

    I have hypothyroidism since 1998. Before that I use to control my weight much easier, now I can do it but I have to workout more and eat much less. That how it is for me. ;-)

    I'm hypo - on thyroxine 75mg per day, and from a family with history of thyroid issues. My mother had a full thyroidectomy after cancer and lost 4stone in 6months after the surgery (the doctors had ignored all her symptoms for 4 years prior) Also PCOS. Please add me!

    Hashimotos 24 years ago, no thyroid left now, on 200mcg synthoid daily.
    I've found losing weight difficult but not impossible. We just have to be committed to it.

    I was hyperthyroid and unable to do much without my heart racing like crazy. Tried medication, but then finally last December had radiated iodine treatment. In April, my thyroid levels were finally normal. I have been able to start jogging and can go further than I ever have before (in my life ever!).
    Sorry, thyroid, but you were just out of control. :)
    Even though I can exercise regularly now (5 days a week for 30-60 minutes), I don't lose much weight. But I am going to keep going because exercise makes me feel energized now instead of wiped out.

    I'm permanently hypothyroid. I had to have my thyroid completely removed because I had thyroid cancer.

    I'm Hypo and have no thyroid at all. Been that way since birth. I'm on 150mg Levothyroxine daily. Actually, does anyone know why it should be taken first thing in the morning? Ever since I was a baby I have taken it before bed but I noticed on the packaging the other month that it should be taken AM. Finding it very hard to break that habit!!!

    Add me!
