I have lost a total of 83, I take breaks, and during those breaks, I do maintain

my current weight. I have NEVER went back to meetings and had more than a 2

pound gain. I always watch what I eat, but don't always journal and there are

weeks when I don't hav e time to go to the gym, so maintaining for me iis ok.

Hi Chris. I'm not hyper, but if your T3 and T4 are within normal range, YOU AREN'T EITHER! At least not if the T3 and T4 tested are the frees. Having a low TSH doesn't mean being hyper. Now the nodule is something different and I believe if it's a hot nodule, it is putting out more hormone, but again, it comes down to the free T3 and 4. Someone else will have to speak to the nodule though. I don't have nodules and am not familiar with the difference in hot or cold nodules.

Hi , mine was postpartum also after my 3rd child and it turned into

Hashimoto's disease, so I guess it depends in the person, yours could be

lifelong or not. I would just take it one day at atime and not worry if

it is or isnt reversable.

: Well sometimes these folks (docs) can be a bit heavy handed in their statements. I am more curious about the swing from hyper to hypo and now with getting stabalized. If you are just having a reaction from pregnency you may have a better chance of full recovery there. If you have antibodies attacking your gland..then this is a difference for sure. Did this person take your antibody readings? ~E:) TOTAL-Thyroidectomy 26 months post-op.

TPO-ab antibodies. If you are on thryoid..chances are you wouldn't be having a Graves thing going on...although it could happen. If you have this going on...your treatment should be geared toward suppression of the TSH..to make sure the attack ends. The antibodes cannot "see" the glad if its being fully replaced...in theory. In this way you can monitor the readings and see those antibody counts decend...we hope.

You can recover thyroid function perhpaps. You do need monitoring for the possibility that you do...at any rate. If you get stable on your dose of synthroid and you start feeling overcooked (racey, overly warm, agitated)...you may see that as a sign you are getting the thryoid kicking in again. I chart my temps every day. (just do the basal and log it) Not all docs are familiar with thryoid....GYNIES are probably at the bottome of the barrel. You may want to find someone who is a bit more familiar...but brace yourself for quite a challenging hunt. You aren't really off to a terrible start..here, but I'd like to know if you have antibodies for graves or hashi...and that this

I don’t know what’s been

tested for me.  I’ve been really frustrated because I sleep terribly and

I’m exhausted during the day.  And, I’ve been doing Weight Watchers

for 17 weeks now.  Before I started Synthroid I wasn’t losing weight for

about 6 weeks.  I started losing weight again, and now the past 4 weeks I’m

back to not losing.

I just want to be normal again!

I'm not sure what that means, but thought that I would pass it along... Judy

Does anyone else find that when they take Synthroid in the morning

that they feel really hot for awhile? It's only in the morning.

I wonder if this points to more of an adrenal kick out. Do you

sleep okay? ARE you really draggy the rest of the day? Have you had

your cortisol checked?

It might be worth checking into it to be sure.

Mine was really high for a long time first thing in the morning...and I

kinda had that scenario playing on me.

Hi E. My 10AM cortisol was 12 and my 4PM cortisol was 7. I haven't done the 24 hour yet. Do you think they need a boost? I feel draggy all day, even in the evening when I used to perky up... Judy

I get hot from my T3 and not at all from the T4 and since Armour has T3 in it, I would be that’s it.

Hi am just going to do a paste here of a post I sent the group, yesterday I think

I have been hypo/Hashi's since 1994. However 12 years on thyroxine did nothing for me and I was on 300 mcgs, I still had all the symptoms I have now been on Armour for 5 months and it's like day and night for me. I'm off anti-depressants, greatly reduced a muscle relaxant and reduced pain killers. I have also lost 10 kilos (around22 pounds ) in the first 3 months.......... Prior to that it took me 9 YEARS to lose 8 kilos. I have done nothing to lose the weight except change my meds........Meleese in Oz xxx
