  • If you aren't the cook, maybe you can ask him if you can pick a new meal idea or two for the week and you can make them together. Try one new meal during the week and then make something new and healthy together with the kids. You don't have to mention that it is to get him to eat healthier, just tell him you want to help…

  • TSH is not a good indicator of thyroid issues. They should be testing all of your levels AND checking for anti-bodies. My doctor kept telling me my thyroid was fine and referred me to a nutritionist. I did what the nutritionist told me to do and I was not losing weight. She went through 4 years of blood tests...I had…

  • Most days I don't eat after 8 pm. Evening time is when I would normally eat out of boredom. I usually drink a couple glasses of water if I start feeling the munchies coming on.

  • I LOVE Doctor Who!!! David Tennant is my favorite Doctor. Rose is my favorite companion. I will say that Matt Smith has grown on me. At first I wasn't real sure I was going to like him. I'm also a fan of Torchwood. Capt. Jack Harkness! Woohoo!

  • I was at a 7 when I was diagnosed. I had my whole thyroid removed within a year due to nodules and Hashimoto's disease. I have been just above a 1 for about 3 months alternating between 175 and 200 mg of Synthroid. They recently added 10 mg daily of Cytomel.

  • My endo told me that they don't totally understand the importance of T3. He just added 10 mg of Cytomel to my regimen to see if the added T3 would help reduce the symptoms the Synthroid isn't resolving. Are you feeling better with the T3 med? I had a total thyroidectomy in February and haven't been on Cytomel very long.…
    in T 3 levels not helpful??!! Really? Comment by huskergirl0731 December 2012
  • Just because your TSH level is within normal range doesn't mean that your metabolism is! Anyone that has hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's disease should get their metabolism checked. My endocrinologist suggested it because although I had managed to lose 20lbs after a total thyroidectomy my weight loss had stopped.

  • I had been on 50 mcg daily until I had a total thyroidectomy. Now, I alternate between 200 and 175 mcg of levothyroxine. I need to have my blood drawn next week. I'm still not feeling right. It's very frustrating.

  • I see a therapist weekly for depression and PTSD. I know my problem is nothing like you are going through, but I can understand being afraid to go to therapy. I will say this, give it a try. I know it seems scary, but it can make a world of difference. Here are a few things I tell others that are considering treatment. Be…
