Can I ask how long it took for the meds to let you start to lose? I was eating one healthy meal a day and still gaining. I'm on Levo now for 9weeks. (6 weeks at 75mcg). My tsh is at 0.12(0.27-4.2) and my doctor is happy with this. T4 is at 20 (12-22). I didn't take my meds before the test. Anyone any advice? I'm so…

Both weightloss and toning. My diet is pretty good but I'm in the midst of hypothyroid treatment so my weight is unstable

That brilliant grin!

Thanks so much. I just need to know in going to be able to get back to normal. Even if it takes a while ❤️

I know this all makes sense but I do weigh and measure everything. Like I'm definitely not eating over my calories when I'm eating half of a baked chicken breast and steamed veg. Even my doctor acknowledges that it's impossible. Especially as I lost weight with it initially. I've been starving for the last two years. I…

9! So glam!

Gorgeous! Love the dress and the hair, girly!

Those abs!

That cheeky smile!

Hug!

Beaut!!!

Gorge eyes!!

Super handsome from what I can see!!

Welcome aboard! Would love to have a group to get through this all!

Thank you all so much!!! I left the doctor with a referral to an endo in hand!!!! I was persistent and I am so so so ready to get this sorted. Will be going private to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. My doctor is just scratching his head at this... One healthy meal a day and an hours exercise and I've gained…

Okay he initially fobbed me off with a "retest in 3months and monitor it" until I cried so now he's referred me to an endocrinologist. My serum free t4 result came back at 11.9 pmol/L (12-22) No idea what that means though.

The absolute nightmare I'm going to have is being in the UK. America seems so much more on the ball about it. It's just so frustrating. I'll get a print out of my bloods tomorrow and post them when I get them. Going out of my head. I eat fish so so much but I'll see about increasing the iodine. Hopefully my doctor will…

Yeah I'm in the Uk. I'm worried he'll just say our guidelines are different :( This is hell. I'm seeing my GP on Monday first. His reaction is what I'll gauge getting a referral on!

I'm not sure what blood tests they were yet. It was all before I came on here to ask or find out what I should be tested for or looking for. He looked at my iron and it was highly anaemic. Then he took a liver and kidney function test and a thyroid test but I'll be able to know more on Monday!!! So worried hell shrug me…

I'll take all this info with me definitely. Symptoms I have are Goitre, tired, hair loss and damage, dry legs and shins, no energy, I eat once a day and I'm still gaining weight, total disinterest in some things, snappy and frustrated, hard to concentrate at times, digestive issues, so cold and heavy menstrual cycle (…

No he just examined it manually and conducted the bloods?

I was highly anaemic and he's retesting that. But it doesn't explain the swollen thyroid gland, weight gain, dry weak hair, dry skin amongst a number of other symptoms. I'm so frustrated. I'm living on one healthy meal a day and still gaining?!

Thank you both so much. It's so nice to hear success stories instead of negatives all the time. My symptoms are killing me off so I'm so so hopeful right now.

Thank you so much. Can I add you on this? I just need a little encouragement that this isn't the life sentence I've resigned myself to!

No medication at all. A few symptoms that might point to my thyroid though?

I'll give you my yesterday: Table spoon of non-fat Greek yogurt and some fresh fruit - raspberries, and strawberries for breakfast. For lunch I had a light salad. No dressing. Just lettuce, peppers, red onion spring onion and cucumber. For dinner I roasted peppers, courgette, red onion and tomatoes sprayed with maybe five…
