Im following. going to endo in early Oct and Im on Synthroid. Just recently new endo added cytomel, gained 5lbs and cant lose. Im finding im depressed and irritable and that's only after I take the cytomel. Looking to swtch to armour or Naturthyroid

Unrefined Virgin Coconut oil is what you want. I use it daily, either when I cook eggs, over pasta in stead of olive oil and sometimes skin. 1-2 teaspoons a day. read up on benefits. there are a lot

I;m losing but its a small amount every week. I am working out doing weights and cardio 6 days a week. I have played with Gluten free and I'm finally convinced I feel much better while going Gluten Free. NO bloating feeling. Feel free to friend me. we can help support each other.

awesome job, consistency works.The ups and down with any thyroid issue can really get to you but you have to be consistent in what you do. Don't give up so easily. force through it,

Jen, I sure hope I follow in your footsteps. I was pretty down the other day. I not changing anything nor am I going to feel sorry and cave. we can do this !!

tomatoes, onion and spinach

I too am nervous, My doc lowered my Synthroid from 176 to 137 and added .5mcg of Cytomel 2x a day. I started this on July 8th and by july 13th I was up 5lbs and this week im up 3lbs...So nervous and getting very unhappy

thanks, my doc told me to take megared and will retest in 3 months, I dont eat pasta, rice or cheese. It very well could be genetics but I dont want to deal with the health issues my parents suffered through and have made changes years ago. other than megared, not sure what else to do

youtube.com has many workout videos for free, weights on craiglist
