Hiya , before I turned 60 I felt like 50yrs old. What the heck happened to my body I don't know because I now feel 74years old. I have arthritis in both knees and it's starting in my s. I can feel fluid in the top of my arms and around my knees. I've been on Thyroxin for 12 months now, Started at 25mg now I'm on 150 and not sure if it's doing anything for. I used to walk all over the place, now it takes all my time getting up and down my stairs at home. Around the same time I was diagnosed with Barrett's and put on Lansoprazole and some how a parasite found it's way into my intestine. Hey ho to getting older but still not old enough for my pension lol .Rant over.😁☕

Hi Cazbarcarole and welcome to our weight loss support community. Firstly I have to remind you that we’re not medically qualified, we’re just a friendly group of people all trying to lose a bit of extra pounds/kilos. We rely on peer to peer support.

If you’re following a weight loss program you’ll find our Daily Diary and weekly Weigh Ins very useful. This is the link to our pinned posts where you’ll find everything we have to offer.

As you mention a possible problem with your meds for your thyroid condition,you may find the ThyroidUK a useful forum. They are very knowledgeable there.
