    I have been hypothyroid and on medication for it for 15 years. I am or use to be very active and very healthy.

    I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February of this year (2015). I currently weigh 185 pounds and am 5 feet 5 inches. I used to be quite slim and have a small frame so the extra weight feels like a lot to me. Is the diagnosis of hypothyroidism mean that I am always going to be overweight...

    I am new here and I am so confused about all of this stuff. There seems to be a lot of activity on this board and I am hoping for some support. I am tired of doctors blaming this on hormones or age, I am not so certain that is all it is. Especially after they found a 3 x 1.5 cm nodule on my...

    Hi All, Not sure how to interpret these new labs. This is after switching from Synthroid 150mcgs to Tirosint 137mcgs + skipping a day a week. The concern was that the Tirosint would be too high because it's more easily absorbed: TSH 3.6 (0.450 - 4.500) FT4 1.59 (0.82 -...

    Hi All, I'm super frustrated. I've gained 15 pounds in 3 months, and no matter what I do, the weight won't budge. I was a stable 200lbs for five years (I'm a 6'6" man) at 125mcgs of Synthroid. I felt good at that weight. Then my thyroid went haywire, TSH went up to 3.9, so the doctor upped me...

    Hi All, I added 5 mcgs of Cytomel to my regular 125 mcgs of Synthroid a little over three months ago. In that time, I have gained 15 pounds! I have been the same weight for four years prior to this, and all of a sudden, I'm up 15. I haven't changed my eating habits, nor my exercise routine...

    I was put on 15mcg of cytomel + 75 of synthroid and I was still gaining weight despite regular exercise and eating extremely healthy. I had zero appetite. However, the cytomel was making my heart race and I had shortness of breath so running was getting difficult. Still, based on my diet and the...
