Hi there! I am Hypo as well. I had partial thyroidectomy in late 2010 due to goiter and started on thyroid meds 4 months ago. Still working on getting my levels right but it's a work-in-progress! Feel Free to add me =)

Just to update..... I feel no change at all since I've been on the medicine. I have an appointment on the 29th of this month to check my levels again. I know you guys warned me that It could take a while but you know...I had a glimmer of hope =/

Hi Christa! Congrats on the 5lbs! This is a great group for Thyroid support and info so Welcome! I am also 29 with a lot of weight to lose to feel free to add me if you would like =)

My doctor told me at my appointment that he wanted me on the name brand. They called in my Rx but when I got it I noticed that it was the generic. I told my doctor that the pharmacy says his office did not specify brand name so they gave me the generic. He told me to start taking that and the he would change me to the…

Thank you all for giving me so many tips and so much encouragement! Please feel free to add me if you would like! Always looking for encouraging friend! =)

I am going to check my lab results right now to see what they tested for. I really do think it was just the TSH...I will definitely ask my doctor to do both next time!! Thanks!

Thank you so much for all of the tips =) I also still have 3 nodules on the side they didn't take out. I am on a 3-month ultrasound schedule/blood work as well just to make sure they don't continue to grow. The one they took out was really big but these other ones are really small so hopefully they don't grow and I don't…

What type of medication are you guys on? Did anyone notice a difference between the Synthroid/Levoxyl and the generic? I am on the generic right now. My endro told me the brand is best but I could start with the generic and see how it works for me.

That is what my endro told me as well. He says that I would pick a routine and stick with it. That way, when I go in for blood work it he can adjust my meds if need be according to my routine. Thanks!

Thanks =) Yea...I already have trouble sleeping so I think I will stick with the morning.

Thanks for all of the tips! I knew about the cruciferous vegetables but I didn't know about the soy. Ill watch out for that too! Right now Ive been taking the pill at 5am...that is when the alarm goes off..it is the first thing I do. However I have to be out the door soon after for work so I only wait 30 before I have my…

Wow the "Long and Pathetic List of Symptoms" was really an eye opener! Thanks for the info!!

Anyone? :-(

Very True! I always try hardest to stay away but when Im weak I am a steak and potatoes kind of girl...... pretty sure that is what screws me all of the time. Another temptation is peanut butter.... like jar and spooning it like it was ice cream. SMH

Hello everyone =) My name is Eva and I live in Florida. I am 5'6" and started off my weight loss journey at 250lbs about 2 years ago after having thyriod surgery. I went down to about 210 and then let it all slip away. The weight started creeping back up and before I knew it I was back up to 230lbs. My husband and I…

I feel your pain! It's hard to get motivated that early in the morning but I, like you continue to fail after work so I knew early mornings was my only option. I leave everything I need to work out the night before: my clothes, shoes, socks...everything. That way there is no excuses to get dressed. To get me going I put…

Hey Mar1I1ze! WOW....Your post is exaclty what I am going through! I will be 30 next March and my husband and I really want a baby but he wants me to get healthy first.
