Hi Everyone... My name is Kelly and I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 21. I have been on every drug you can imagine for this disease, my levels were never "normal". Now 25 years later I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and type 2 diabetes. I said to myself..."Are you freaking serious?!?!?!" I have…
I have had Hypothyroidism since I was 9 years old; I am now 28. The amount of medication I am on is basically replacing my thyroid. I have been struggling to lose weight for ever. I exercise 5-6 days a week and can lift/run faster than most, I am just fat. I have talked to my doctor about maybe doing a pill because I need…
So, Hi everyone. My Name is Jaspreet. I had hyperthyroidism as a child when I was 7 years old.

I have the worst time with losing so much hair. Swear to god it looks like I drowned my cat after a shower. My best cure is well...I cut off all my hair. Not only for that reason but also easier to clean after surgery. What solutions or cures have you found work?
I was hoping someone here may have some insight to TOM and Hypothyroidism. Sorry if this is TMI and long, but I am frustrated beyond belief so I am grasping at insight from anywhere! Backstory: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 months ago. Before this diagnosis, for a year I could barely function physically, and…
Yes it can. Just because you need to loose weight doesn't mean you constantly eat. The reality is a lot of over weight people don't eat as much as you assume they would. As for me I am never hungry...like never. So, I have to make myself eat 3 meals a day and a snack, otherwise my body rebels something terrible. If you…
Hi All. I am new to this group and was hoping to find some guidance, ideas.. and possibly someone in the same situation as me that I can commiserate with. I am a 58 year old healthy female with a hypothyroid. I have been diagnosed for approximately 2 years. My family history is not something I have any record of because…
