Hi, this was very helpful, I will definitely be checking out the shake, as I'm always busy and never able to plan my meals, a shake would definitely keep me from snacking, and a chocolate shake would probably help towards my sweet cravings. Thanks for this, really helpful :)

Thank you, I'm getting more tests for bloods and stuff, but yeah, I am going to start making out meal plans and trying to add more protein in my diet and stuff.

Well, my grandmother was anemic, and my mother had low iron at one stage, so it is possible I have it too and will get it checked to be sure, Thank you!

I'm going next week to my doctor so I will ask to get that checked as well, thank you!

Thank you! This was very helpful, and I've had all the tests, but I don't take any vitamins so I may start taking the B12 to see if it will help, as I probably am deficient in nutrients somewhere.

I'm not entirely sure, I know I'm not getting enough nutrients as I should be as I'm on a very tight budget with money, so it makes it hard for me to splurge on lots of different foods or spices, nuts and seeds, as their expensive here (I'm in Ireland). I do eat plenty of vegetables, and have some fruit when I can, I have…

I would probably be better doing exercise at lunch time too. I use to do Yoga, but because of how exhausted and achy I am since the thyroid, it seems much harder, but I did enjoy it, at least the mild workouts. I also was given a stationary exercise bike by a neighbour, so I will try to do 10 minutes everyday on that, but…

I had my recent blood test, and my thyroid is back to normal after being on it for 2 months, she said I would only need blood tests every 6 to 12 months now as it was stable. Thank you for replying!

Unfortunately I don't think my GP doctor can do that, and I'm not sure how much it would cost as I wouldn't be covered (I'm in Ireland). I think I'm probably deficient in something, perhaps B12, and that is why I'm craving, but it is mostly the lack of being able to lose any weight that is effecting me most.

Hi, yeah I've talked to my doctor, and she said that being vegetarian wont cause any damage to me, she just said I need to do it properly by eating the right food and getting the right amount of vitamins and such while being vegetarian, but I didn't about my thyroid and dietary requirements with it.

Thank you everyone, you've all been so helpful, and so much information. I'm taking notes on all the info you've replied with and will definitely be seeing how my blood tests go next week, and a test for celiac disease as well, to see if that is effecting my diet and weight loss, if I'm eating the wrong foods. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing that with me. This is the first time I've had to take the medication, and only been on it 2 months, which my doctor said is how long it would take to be effective in my system. He said it is trial at the moment to see how much I need, as I'm only on 50mg, which is the lowest dose. I don't feel tired…

My thyroid test is very early in the morning, before I take my medicine, so I will see what the results show, and also have a discussion with my doctor, and ask honestly about it as well.

I actually got advice from a neighbour, who says I should get tested for celiac as well, as that is usually connected to Thyroid problems, so I am cutting down on very heavy breads, rice, pastas and stuff, only stodgy food I eat is potatoes. Well done, that is amazing!

My dog walking is leisurely, I suffer terribly with my anxiety, so I usually walk with my mum, and she has a bad leg, so it is not a fast pace walk, but it is about an hour. I know it's not much, but I'm trying to keep myself busy with my art, and avoid snacking or giving into thoughts of food.

Thank you! Yeah, I'll be getting more blood tests next week, so I will see my doctor a week after that to discuss if I need to change my dose or come off it, or see what happens from there. I am trying at the moment to be good anyway and watch what I am taking in food wise.
