  • Hi, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 3 years ago following a routine blood test. My Doc put me on Thyroxine and started monitoring me on a 3-month basis. After about 2 years I levelled off at about 5 on my TSH and take 150Mg a day. Back in April 2013 myself and my Wife (who is also Hypo) started on a weight-loss…
