Hi Monica, looking amazing btw, just wanted to chime in because I had the same thing with the thyroid. Expect I started taking the medicine a month before surgery and let me tell you...I think it's part of the reason I have been able to lose so much. So you will definitely see a difference. The only thing about 'em is I have to take it early in the morning on an empty stomach & 30 before I eat any thing...also 4 hours apart from any type of supplement...so that's what I was told...in the beginning it was hard to adjust all the stuff I had to take...but now it's not a problem. Anyway, best of luck and continued success! Take care

I'm glad she found the problem!! I'd post on the Main Board (should get a lot of responces). I've seen that issue discussed on the Main Board a lot. I'd check out things like Web MD and see if there are thyroid support groups on different web sites. Just a little curve in your journey. You'll be back on track soon. Brian

Good idea...I rarely post on the main board...I think I'll do that.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

That IS good news, Monica, all the way around... so glad that you are checking out the inner workings of Mo... too many people do not do it, and things that could be treated early are missed. I am proud of you for being pro-active, AND for all of your bloodwork being "up to snuff"...

So..thyroid function is low... that can explain a lot... let's see how the meds work for you!

I'm having an ultrasound and biopsy of my thyroid next Wed... it has all kinds of growths on it, and we haven't biopsied them for 8 years... time to do that!

xoxo and so glad for your good news!
