Diet and exercise is critical with both hypothyroid and diabetes for good weight management/ weight loss. You can head across to the thyroid forum for some more info on making sure your levels are optimal. Your HA1C is not so high, so I'd guess they'd have started you on metformin. This drug often helps with weight loss. Regardless, you won't gain if you pay close attention to diet. Reduce the carbs, particularly anything processed and refined. Don't eat too much fruit.

hi, working out an hour/day is great, no need to cut your food intake down because you are already working out, you need only to drink more water (especially warm) it will melt your extra fat off and and you will get your desired weight, if you still wanna try something, you must go for beyond weight management tea,a very good thing for weight management.

If there is even a slight possibility of you being pregnant, you may do a home pregnancy test (HPT) one week after your missed period. For proper evaluation and management, I suggest she consult a doctor (OB gynecologist). Blood tests, pregnancy test (serum bHCG - more sensitive than HPT), vaginal smear, ultrasound may be done. Treatment will depend on the cause. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

That is the best places to begin. There are pain management options during pregnancy. However it must be done correctly and closely monitored by a specializing physician.

Well, long term chronic pain management usually does come with dependence which is not the same as addiction. You do need to be mindful that it can quickly become an issue of addiction and to prevent that I recommend treating your depression. Treating depression helps pain levels. Try to de-isolate and talk to your doctor re: the depression.

Around when I stopped abx I was dx with a massive fibroid tumor that was draining my energy and also making weight loss/management extremely tough. I had surgery to remove it in august 2012. Last year, off abx and done with the fibroid, I finally got on thyroid treatment, though I'm only considered "sub clinical" hypo, and I again lost 40 lbs, this time in only about 4 months. But now I've gained a lot of that back due to pregnancy.

Hi Codielou I am in the UK and unfortunately endo is very badly managed over here. It's an effort just to get a diagnosis so pain management is unheard of! I am also allergic to paracetamol and codine so the only pain killer I can take is Ibroprofen and I am currently over dosing on them.

Aside pregnancy, delayed periods could occur due to a few causes such as stress or a recent weight change, gynaecological pathology, anovulatory cycles, hormonal imbalance, PCOD, anemia, infections, systemic abnormalities, thyroid imbalances etc. just to name a few. Delayed periods for 2-3 weeks should not be a reason for alarm, since most of the time it is stress caused. I would suggest distressing yourself. Hopefully you would get your periods in a few days/ weeks.

The best way to do this is consult an expert/physician.

There are a lot of articles about it not being a good idea. Since it is a weight management product, during pregnancy, that isn't the time to use it. Only supplements and products that help maintain or add weight are usually recommended and nothing that induces weight loss. I would at the very least, not consider it until your doctor says you can.
