I'm Patti - diagnosed recently with hypo/Hashimoto's. I've been on 100 mcg of Synthroid for a little over 2 weeks. My blood work was initially ordered by my GYN, who I saw because of irregular and extremely heavy periods. When my TSH came back over 100, he told me to see my family doctor immediately, who redid the blood work and sent me for a scan and uptake. In combo with all my other tests, looks like my problems are the result of 1)my hypo 2)fibroid tumors in my uterus 3)pre-menopause. A Triple Whammy!!!!!!!
So I guess I have hypothyroidism and I'm on 50mcg of synthroid.
Stephanie, I know exactly what you mean about researching the right diet and excercise. I hope to be able to kick this without pills some day. I'm about 20-30 lbs overweight. This all happened so fast...on Tuesday I was just an otherwise normal person who was a little too tired, and now I've got this "condition".
It's really neat to see all these other women who have also been recently diagnosed. Hopefully we will be able to get each other's questions answered.
-Karen
