I am new to this site – I was diagnosed in October after suffering for months with what I thought were un-related symptoms. I have major weakness in my arms and legs as well as frequent "charlie horses" in my arms and shoulders. I want to start exercising since I have experienced significant weight gain, but cannot do anything but walk slowly on the treadmill.
Any suggestions?
I have to tell you I am happy to have found this site – this disease can be very depressing. In addition to the weight gain my face is very swollen – I am not a happy camper these days!!
I have decided to do the radiation to "kill" my thryoid – can anybody tell me the down side of this?
