Diagnosis: Hashimotos
| Wed, 07-28-2004 - 5:00pm |
I finally have a diagnosis from my Endo!! I am so thrilled to be on the road to hopefully controlling some of these symptoms. I was so depressed to learn I'd gained another 3 lbs in the last 3 weeks bringing my total to 18 lbs gained. That's not good on my 5'1 frame!!! He's starting me on 75 mcg (I think that's right) and I go back, of course, for more blood work, etc. Now on to researching diet and exercise tips so I can begin to live my life again!!! Thanks for everyone's advice and help over the last month!!! Stephanie

Hi Stephanie - isn't it kind of funny when we're so happy to learn that there really is something wrong with us?! But you're so right - because it means that you can deal with it now and start to feel better! So I'm glad for you. I have lots of diet and fitness info for you but don't have time to post it now. If you can look back on any of the posts where people are asking about their weight, I'm sure I put lots of info there. And I'm hoping to start a new board folder with just diet and health info so we can address that side of it in an organized way. I also have a great article from Oxygen magazine on improving your metabolism but I haven't had time to post it yet. There's 8 steps and I want to do a step a day. Anyway ......... good to hear from you! Cathy :)
