I am very down and struggling today as I have now put on three pounds in weight since yesterday!!!! I have also put on about 10 pounds over a period of about 6 weeks. My endo consultant said my blood levels were okay but having read them they seem to have gone down from last time? Need some help and advice from anyone who can help.

Hi lisa, I haven't been on the site long. However, I sure know how it feels to get "any" reply. Then from someone who can relate, right? I felt horrific, u can see my post. On the good side, I got sooo many replies, I was at a point, "I'll try anything to feel/look better. I feel, great, better than I have for 6-9 months at least. My post was sent out 4 days ago!!! Yep, this is the place to get real HELP, SUPPORT.

I WAS exhausted wanted to stay in bed curled up, ached everywhere, everything was awful. A complete opposite of a description of me. Can u relate? Call the dr., get another appt., asap you need him to listen to You, not the test. Post the blood test everything you have from before/latest here, to let someone read/advise you. They have administration that can give you documention to bring to your next appt. The t4 t3 are hormones in your body that work together, like on/OFF, KEEP U Hot/cold, the weight on/OFF. If u are in menopause (horomones) that will also effect this. I know, evening promise oil helps everything for a woman, take it everyday (nightsweats/flashes) will help..call the dr., get your test results, post, sit look thru this site, read, read I learned so much...i hope I made u feel heard, and this help. You will be better, and it's summer, easy clothes a little weight can be hidden, cause it'll go away, once u learn what is chemically going on in your body.....itll work🏖🌺
