Underactive thyroid

[Sunny_holiday]

Hi I am new on this forum, and looking for advice. With an underactive thyroid treatment on levothyroxine has anyone seen gradual weight gain? I am really struggling

I lost a fair but of weight on levo, puffiness in my face went quite qquickly. What us you dose and di you have any blood results?

Next bit is cut and paste ...

A lot of people on here are the strugglers so it is a bit scary (I think) but they have suffered and they share the knowledge to help others because they see that it does not come easily from NHS. It is also a bit daunting putting everything in writing and it is complex.

The admins especially are amazing.

It is a busy place - post again if your not getting answers so you come back into view.

If you fill in your bio on the profile it will helps them give you advice. You can also see what others have been through.

Getting previous blood test results from Doctors can be easier on apps these days but they will need these. And the ranges for the tests as they are not all the same and it is percentage through range that is useful sometimes.

You probably need to be on a better dose. You can obtain yoru blood from the GP surgery and post on here. It can take a while to get things right.
