Alice,
Weight gain is not nice. Especially when you already are at risk of heart disease. I was diagnosed in February and since then my weight has yo-yoed a bit. What I have decided is that I need to look at my lifestyle and how I look after myself. We women tend to put ourselves last but when we get a wake up call from mother nature, ie. illness, I think it’s time for a change. Whether you have the “atomic cocktail” or not you can decide yourself how it will effect you. Through what I choose to eat and what I decide to do with my leisure time I know whether I’m making healthy choices. I haven’t had the cocktail yet. I’m wanting more info on the best option to choose, as I am wanting children at some stage. But I know that, armed with knowledge and a lot of will power, I’ll make the best decision for me. Ask your doctor about the prolonged use of thyroid replacement drugs and their effect of bone mass.
Take care,
Carol
