My thyroid journey

[janveron2]

2012 Thin and getting thinner = hyperthyroid. Carbimazole!

2013 Told to need thyroid removed- stupidly agreed. RAI. Not told that treatment programme pathetically inadequate. Mother (deceased) hypo from 1950 to death 1984 treated with Armour according to her still alive sister. After two years of poor levels and weight gain decided to self medicate. Private visit to endo who put me on his NHS list for twice yearly visits.

Had very mild heart attack July 2017 = triple bypass but told heart strong. Now on Nature Throid with regular BH tests. Lost weight before heart prob but they reduced my NT ( cardiac docs do not understand hypo) . Now trying to lose fat again! Hoping and have gradually uped NT.

Hi janveron2, welcome to the forum.

It would be a very good idea if you copied and pasted that on your profile, so that people don't have to ask questions next time you post.
