Hey evry1…i would like to get some advice of u guys please..

I have an underactive thyroid and im taking 100mg of thyroxine…ive been taking it for about a year now my levels are stable, but im still fat and tired all the time! None of my symptoms have gone away and the doctor even said that my weight would start dropping off!

Its really hard for me to diet as i feel really faint if i dont eat all the time, and im too tired to do much exercise! ive had a complete blood test done about 3 times now and i dont have any other deficiencies..

Does anyone have any tips/ advice or useful links that i can use?
Thanks x

Re: THYROID PROBLEMS AND WEIGHT LOSS~underactive thyroid

you might need an adjustment of your dosage. I would contact the doctor again to see if the dosage is write.

By the way you will not lose the weight if your thyroid is back to normal. You will only lose weight if your thyroid is overactive. Since the goal of your therapy was to bring the TH levels back to normal, you are now like the rest of us. Only things that make you sweat and increase your metabolism like exercise will make you lose weight
