Another Thyroid Thread.... (Redux)

[Catrin]

+100 on what Indy said. It IS frustrating waiting for improvements to come, especially when something like hair loss is going on. Hopefully you will see more improvements soon!

Y'all are jinxes. I've been on thyroid meds since I was 20, with no issues. The last few weeks I've been having these weird semi-panicky feelings. Did a vague web search, it sounds like I may be getting too much synthroid. I get my blood work done in a few weeks, so we'll see.

Now stoppit!!

(I've recently lost about 10 pounds, so maybe the weight loss is affecting my levels.)

Was that weight loss intentional, Snap? Or did the pounds come off easier than you expected? Certainly, too much thyroid hormone can induce weightloss. I'm glad you're getting your levels checked.

You know what? My eyelashes seem fuller. Looking back, that was the first thing that I noticed getting skimpy. Maybe the first to go is the first to grow back. I'll take it as a sign things are improving.

It's intentional, I'm on Weight Watchers. My doctor checks my levels about every 6 months, they've been steady for years. It will be interesting to see where they're at.

Good job on the weight loss. The new WW must really work (if you work it). Everyone I know has done really well on it.

Yeah, once I actually started paying attention to it, a miracle happened, I started losing weight.

Good for you, Snap!
