New and trying to figure it out
I had a thyroidectomy in 10/2013 and ended up in a coma from complications. My parathyroid glands finally "woke up" a few months later. In the past year I have gained almost 100 pounds. My meds for my thyroid have my levels in the high end of normal. Now I am trying to lose weight. I am very discouraged at this time. It…
