I was lurking until I read a reference to thyroid problems. I never want any woman to go through what I went through, so I'll share my story.


I always struggled with 5 or so extra pounds - I love food.

Welcome! What an amazing story! I'm so sorry you had to go through all you did, but it seems drs. often don't take women's complaints seriously. Your recovery with the correct diagnosis is inspirational. I hope you'll post regularly with us.

What a great post. Congratulations to you for taking charge of your health and making those changes! Doesn't it drive you crazy how often Drs dismiss symptons as "normal for our age"?


Hope you'll post often.
