Hello,
I’m sorry that I can’t really answer any of your questions. I’m pretty new to this whole experience and I also have pretty much the same questions. I am definitely fearing becoming hypo. My whole life I have had amazing metabolim, and now I’m gaining weight with no effort at all. I am looking forward to getting myself a fitness plan and shedding these extra pounds. I completely sympathize with you.
Good luck to you!
~RebeccaCan someone tell me what does it mean when my blood results is coming back normal? By normal I mean, everything is within the range. I’m still on the medication, the dosage hasn’t changed. It’s been like that for two months now. Should I be expected to be hypo any minute now? And if I do, what should I expect?
I feel tire these days but I’m told that it’s normal. I’m not extremely tire or anything. Further, I’ve put on some weight. But my endo tells me that is expected.
I’m going to start exercising because i’ve got the all clear from my endo. Hopefully, I’m able to lose some of this excess weight…20lbs.
Hope everyone is doing well.You didn’t say whether you’ve had RAI, or whether you’re on anti-thyroid drugs, or what.
If you’re on anti-thyroid drugs, normal is where you hope and expect to stay. If you’re blood tests are normal, but you’re not feeling right, there may be some wiggle room in the doses of drugs you’re being given. After I complained enough and finally switched doctors, I got a doctor who was willing to continue adjusting my meds until I felt better, despite the fact that my blood test results were normal the whole time (they remained normal, even as he adjusted my meds to a point where I felt normal).
If you’ve had RAI, I guess you should expect to go hypo at some point, but I don’t know how long that takes. Maybe your doctor can give you some kind of idea.
Meanwhile, I’ve found that the best way to get a doctor’s attention with regard to not feeling right is to go in with very specific information. So instead of saying “I’m tired all the time” I told my doctor that 2 days last week I went out and took a nap in my car at lunchtime, and that 3 days I went to bed at 7:30. Instead of saying that I was gaining an unreasonable amount of weight, I had a food diary showing what and how much of it I ate, and how much weight I had gained. With that information, the doctor was more willing to adjust my meds.
