Thanks. Will do.
Wow , I can honestly relate to this post and many of the symptoms. I suffered with Hypothyroidism for years and was treated with a regular dose of Thyroxine. Unfortunately I developed a goitre which grew internally, pressed on my trachea and oesophagus causing difficulity breathing and digestion issues. One month ago I had a Thyriodectomy. The biospy showed Papillary Thyroid Cancer which is apparently common. The surgeon believes I am now cancer free. I will of course have to take Thyroxine and Calcuim medication for the rest of my life and also modifiy my dietary intake. Weight gain has been an ongoing issue, I am sure if I persist I will be able to deal that.
yes surely it is manageable dietary control and regular medications helps you manage the symptoms and regular exercise, walking will help in weight reduction
True.
Its difficult to get clear answers about diet and weight loss for someone living without a thyroid gland. On the internet there a numerous sites but many have conflicting ideas. I have the added issuse of being gluten and lactose intolerant.
I recently had my blood drawn checking my T3,T4, etc . My levels are a tad bit low and I blame myself for not taking better care of myself when I found out years ago I was younger and didn’t really understand so I did not follow up. I am glad I am taking better care of myself now and I will be waiting for your next blog. ✨
