wish I could say something positive here, but nothing has helped mine :(

thanks y'all! So much! Guess I miscalculated, funny my dietitian said to eat 1450 a day, so that's about perfect I guess, unfortunately, even when I spin and jog and do yoga 4-5 times per week (Yes I do it on weekends too) haha, and EAT that many cals, the scale just keeps going up up up! It's terrifying. I have been…

I look the EXACT same not gaining weight in any other place but my belly and the back of my neck! Hang in there, I am praying/hoping/chanting to Buddha (hey whatever works at this point), that this new med Tirosint (pure gel cap T4) combined with the T3 (Cytomel) I already take will help me shed lbs... I've been working so…

meant to add this line... I would be starving! (don't want y'all thinking I was trying to ask how to eat that little! LOL, this girl is not into dying.

woot, now make the endos learn to optimize people by symptoms and not TSH value ;)

Augusta, GA :)

hope it goes well! More importantly how are you feeling at this time? Symptoms etc?

Sadly, I've tried it both ways (with T3 and without), in fact I've been on 5 different levels of synthroid with and without Cytomel (t3) for the last 2.5 years. Without T3, I get really tired in the afternoons and the fatigue just overwhelms me, with T3, I do better on that symptom at least (LOL), it sure doesn't help with…

Hi Linder, what levels seemed to work best for you? I know we are all different, but my endo states she will allow me to become -unsuppressed (had my thyroid removed as well) ... did you lose weight while still suppressed? I have only gained. I also have had a roller coaster ride of TSh,t4 and t3 levels.... just a side…

wine country :) lucky you

RozayJones, me too... endo said she was going to have to get me leveled out and to just keep doing what I was doing (dietitian said same thing), to lose weight, and that weight loss wasn't going to come until my body was at "it's levels".... ps- I meant to mention I saw a post from you the other day about your little guy…

MeepleMuppet, I meant to mention, my endo said ONLY if they suspect that the cancer will not come back after a couple of years will they allow you to become "UN"suppressed.... it also depends on the type and variance ans stage of the cancer.... I am certainly no doctor, so asking yours would be key if you want to return to…

Hey all and thanks for the replies, this does help, I have asked about NatureThroid, Armour etc... she is not a fan due to it not being well controlled as far as the amts of t3/t4 in the desiccated brands. I had thyroid cancer, so they removed mine, however, she believe I may have had Hashimotos and that's what caused a…

thank you for posting this. I teared up here at my desk reading it. It's been 2.5 year post thyroidectomy for me, and I have "forgotten" what normal feels like most days. My endo is trying to work towards getting my levels where "i feel good" and not where she wants them, so i feel better and not just have a great TSH…

I always gain weight when I am Hyper or Hypo. Still trying to find the magic "balance" ....I don't have a thyroid gland at all though. (surgery)

ashleyapplewh : how are you doing on Tirosint? My doc is going to allow me to try it, since for 2.5 years with pure Synthroid (not generic), I still have symptoms (ie: weight gain, joint pain, brain fog, fatigue). I figure its gotta be the Synthroid itself if we've changed dosages 5 or 6 times in 2.5 years as well as…

Great Job.. any thoughts on how to broach the subject with your doc on getting Armour? LOL I am pretty sure the synthroid just ain't getting it for me... I have been exercising like non-stop and eating very very sensibly, and the weight keeps coming on. Did you recently switch to Armour, do you think that helped?
