thyroid issue. ugh!

[unbroken40 31]

I have battled hypothyroid disease for 15 years. Weight being an issue since it went to crap. Just saw my endocrinologist yesterday and my levels are ALL screwed up since I have dropped 36 pounds. I am so over these roaf blocks. (pitty party) anyway... anyone else having issues with not losing and thyroid being dumb??? SO FREAKING FRUSTRATED. ????

I have Hashimoto's which is under active as well. I've had it for 7 yrs. I am wondering if you know what your TSH is??? The reason I ask is because I found that lower mine is closest to 1 the better I feel. I'm on 125mcg of synthroid. I was gaining weight for over a year before they diagnosed me. That was with going to the gym 5-6 days a week for 1-2hrs each time. I wish you the best it's not easy and having thyroid makes it harder.

I have a sluggish thyroid. my tsh are low normal. my pcp feels that I already take enough pills so won't add thyroid medication. any suggestions on how to amp my thyroid without medication. perhaps a supplement, or food product?

I have heard selenium helps but that would be another pill. Also stay away from things like soy and broccoli they are bad for thyroid.

I take 112 mcg synthroid and have hashimoto. I had half my thyroid removed in 2005 but this is the first I am hearing about foods to stay away from. (Except soy I knew about that). What other foods slow down weight loss for thyroid patients? Thanks for the info!

I've been taking thyroid meds for 20 years, never changed my diet whatsoever and my levels are fine
