Hi there everyone-
I have been lurking for quite some time and figured that I might as well join all of you. I was dx'd hypo last Nov. and have been trucking back and forth to the endo (have been under his care fore 10 yrs due to PCOS and it's effects due to being misdiagnosed)-UGH Anyway, this hypo thing is a whole new set of issues on top of the other crap I deal with on a daily basis. I have been getting checked every 8 weeks and the meds are constantly changing. Weird thing is, that with PCOS weight loss was always an extremely hard thing to do and this yr I finally was losing weight, got dx'd with this, started meds, and am up 20 lbs! Can't seem to get it off no matter what. I am also 45 so that doesn't help. LOL
I was told that this takes a long time and to be patient. Can anyone relate? I am on synthroid ( the name drug). They even put on my rx that I am to get only synthroid. Have any of you had any success with losing weight? I think I have tried everything, considering the PCOS is frustrating in of itself! I do have that in control with meds and weight was the same then finally was going down til all this!
Anyway, hope I didn''t bore anyone-no one seems to understand they think just take this pill and all will resolve, yeah right! Take care and best wishes! Jeanine

Hi Jeanine,
Welcome to our board.
Patience, time - you're right on that one.
