Great, I'll join those! Thanks!

I'm down for the cause. FYI, actress Genna Lee Nolin (mostly known for her time on Baywatch) has a Facebook page called "Thyroid Sexy". She suffers from hypothyroid and chronicles her journey, and highlights fans journeys. I've found it really helpful in joining discussions and connecting with other folks with…

Bear with me, I'm learning how this forum works... Before my flare up of hyperthyroidism in 2011, I was training to be a fitness model. I noticed there was a problem in January 2011 when I lost 10 pounds in one week (yes...one week), and that's when I went to my doctor and blood tests showed I was hyperthyroid. Prior to…

Hello everyone, I've had thyroid disease almost my entire life: Grave's disease from ages 7-12 Hashimoto's disease from ages 12-21 Normal thyroid from 21-28 Grave's disease from 28-29 Hashimoto's disease at 29 (due to taking Radioactive iodine) I took Radioactive iodine in December and am currently under supervision with…

I actually just purchased Alli, but am now reading about the affects of taking Alli with synthroid. I read that they should be taken at least 4 hours from each other as to not interfere with synthroid absorption. I've battle thyroid disease all my life (first Grave's from ages 7-12, then Hashimoto's from ages 12-21, then…
