Love this. It accurately describes what we go through. I actually had Hashi's and Graves disease first and now am hypo with Hashi's. Everyday I'm learning more and trying different things to see what works and what doesn't, but I can tell that when I get stressed, the other symptoms come back with a vengeance.

I have been Hyper/Graves and am now Hypo. I have experienced phases to time where I seem to loose a lot of hair even though my dose of levo or synthroid was not adjusted. I think that sometimes your body will change depending on what you are eating, etc. Luckily, my hair has grown back each time I've experienced this "over…

Fantastic and such a wonderful story! You look amazing, but the best part is the way you now feel about yourself now having kicked the scale to the curb. It is so easy to get obsessed with that number, but this lifestyle change takes time. There is no overnight long term success. The photos and your NSVs are positive…

Another delicious recipe to try. Thanks for sharing!

Don't care what it is called, sounds delicious!

I have a Nutribullet and love it! I also got the recipe book and have tried many different recipes. I must admit my very first smoothie tasted like lawn clippings too - I had way overloaded the cup with spinach and fruits and did not use enough water. Lots of the recipes provided in the post sound good too. I'm going to…

What an awesome inspiration! Thanks for sharing your wonderful success!

Your symptons sound like all mine when I was first diagnosed with Graves Disease with Hashimoto's Throiditis. I have no idea was my blood work numbers were. My endocrinologist just told me that I was off the charts Hyperthyroid. But, I wasn't gaining weight, I was eating enough for 2 people every day and still losing…

This is the key. Find out your BMR and TDEE. 1500 sounds reasonable and do-able. It just may take longer depending on your activity level. The key is to burn more calories than you consume. It may sound more imposing than it is. Use the link provided. Your body burns a certain amount of calories just by being alive and any…

Bumping to save for later.

I have read and been told that RAI is a permanent fix. I was off the charts Hyperthyroid with Hashimotos. First tried methimazole for about 6 months, then developed an allergic reaction to the medication. I don't recall the medication making me lose my hair, I recall the medication helping that issue, but my other symptoms…

I tend to run cold most of the time, tiredness, brain fog and I've lost half my hair thickness. Have not lost any of my eyebrows though. I have found drinking/eating things with ginger, cinnamon, tarragon seems to help me feel less cold. I drink a lot more tea and less cold water, especially in the winter and when I'm in…

Hi, I have tried to complete the Nov and Dec challenges, but maybe January will by the "third time is the charm." I am able to comply with all the daily requirements, my problem is the daily reporting, especially when I'm not at work. So, while I kept within my calories and exercised every day, when on vacation I would…
