Hi all
I am new to this site - I have been taking Levothyroxine for 14 years or so, during that time my body has gone through various stages, ten years ago I managed to lose a lot of weight and kept it off for a long time but then my circumstances changed and my job changed so the weight piled on. Ever since I have been struggling to lose anything - I record what I eat every day to control how much I eat and I go the gym 5 or 6 times a week and do strength exercises as well as running, weight loss is very difficult and not just that I feel exhausted and my muscles and joints hurt all the time.
I have seen three Endo’s - the first one told me I was fat because I was lazy and eat too much!
The second one said he didn’t think I had a Thyroid problem but thought it was Addison’s disease, tests proved I didn’t have that but he didn’t offer any other explanation, the third one simply said I was old! I am 50 - so my “old age” was the reason for all my symptoms.
To be blatantly honest I am at my wits end and feel very low about all of this - my biggest issue is Energy levels and my weight, I have just ordered from T3 supplements to try, I have had numerous tests for vitamin and ferritin levels all were normal apparently. Anyway sorry for the long post - I will be reading all the posts with interest!
