I read Living Well with Hypothyroidism over the weekend. I found some good information that I dog-eared. Increasingly, I have been suffering from symptoms that quite possibly have something to do with my thyroid. My doctor upped my dose of levothyroxine last December. I have not had my medication adjusted since elementary school! Since then, my worst symptoms have remained- low-grade depression, air hunger, difficulty losing weight, and low stamina- but my TSH is still considered normal.
I have scheduled an appointment with my GP next month hoping to discuss my symptoms, my concerns, and possible changes to my treatment. I really would like to try Armour or another natural thyroid hormone.
I am doing okay on my weekly goals. I try to motivate myself every morning, I measure more often, and I snack less often, but
I am not where I want to be in my exercise program (in part due to my low stamina but also because exercise is out of my current comfort zone). Where my weight is? No clue. I'll weigh tomorrow morning to check the damage.
