My levels would never stabilize on synthroid. That's why my doctor switched me to an NDT. I've also noticed that I tend to have issues with gluten so I do a mostly gluten-free diet.

I have Low Vit D and low B12 levels (common with thyroid issues) My mom is an RN and I was lucky to have an excellent Dr who diagnosed my thyroid condition while I was still technically within 'lab normal' TSH (the lab…

Make sure there is no undiagnosed health issue (thyroid/PCOS/etc) preventing weight loss. Take baby steps. I tend to jump in with both feet and then burn out. I have more luck with small changes. Commit to one lifestyle change (like going for a walk every day No Excuses...even if you just go to the end of the block) work…

I actually live in Spring so "howdy neighbor". You can do this! I'm on day 12 of a couple of "30 Day Challenge" exercises myself. Not losing motivation is definitely the biggest challenge in this. GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm hypothyroid. Was diagnosed back in 2005. Never had a goiter. Been on thyroid hormone replacement therapy since the diagnosis and have no complaints. I'm on armour (natural hormone) rather than synthroid/levothyroxine (artificial thyroid hormone) b/c it works better for me. I'd see an endo and also do some major…
