Avatar n tn Is there any help for weight loss women that has a hysterectomy i exercise and eat right taken all kind of diet pills.
Avatar f tn 6 is normal but with symptoms, we would sometimes offer a trial of levothyroxine for this situation given the positive TPO antibody. The BCP only explains the high total T4. Weight loss will not automatically occur w/ thyroid medication, especially given that your thyroid levels are fairly normal to start with. Biotin (over the counter, 5000mcg) may help w/ the hair loss but any thing that is done for hair will take 2-3 months to not a difference.
665125 tn?1273023924 I am very sorry to bother you. I am running on fear at this moment in time. I was wondering why you had to have that? if you don't mind me asking. Today I got results of a thyroid biopsie and all they said is I had A typical cell clusters and I can't wait I need to go to a spicheal doctor and hospitl asap. I don't understand so I was wondering why you had to have your taken out?
Avatar n tn but that is not the reason i started abusing in the first place, i have always had symptoms of thyroid but always thought they were all just isolated problems for example dry skin, weight loss, appetite loss, SWEATING, cold extremities. anymore info you could give me on this would be great.
Avatar f tn Google LCHF and you will see a whole bunch of doctors and nutritionists with tons of meals and recipes (simple and inexpensive). Try it for a week and you will see the weight loss happen and food cravings reduce, as this style of eating keeps your blood sugar stable all day long and trains your body to burn fat in absence of insulin secretion. So, LCHF works for me...I love it! I hope the best in your life whatever you chose to do. Good luck and be well.
Avatar n tn Now here I am 60lbs heavier healthy eating but cannot lose weight. Can anyone please provide me wiht some information as to how to lose the weight and what I can expect realistically. Are any diet aids- pills safe to take without risking my heatlh. I excerise 3-4 days a week not sur ehow else to fix this disease.
Avatar f tn 7 and lost three pounds the first two weeks then two for the next two then i stopped and continued on my own becuase after a while your weight loss gradually stops and you have to work out more intensively. although once off the pills you tend to binge but be strong..
Avatar f tn I recently had some bloodwork done by my GP and the TSH was 2.66 , T4 was 12.5 (12 was the top number of the labs range), followed up by TPO which was 266 (0-35 norm) and thyroid ultrasound with 2mm nodule. Symptoms prompting testing were significant hair loss, extreme fatigue and sluggishness, weight gain and difficulty losing weight and several other symptoms. Was referred to an Endo and left there on the verge of tears.
Avatar m tn If so, what are your total and free numbers? Your loss of libido could be helped if your testosterone is low and you correct this. My thyroid was very bad and i tested low for testosterone. If you are 42, your total range should be 400-800. My guess is you are probably hovering in the 200's. Even though you might be lethargic from the thyroid, fixing low testosterone will help you with energy. It will also help you a little with the weight problem and also your libido.
Avatar n tn Would test thyroid levels to see if the dose is appropriate but if the levels are fine, would need to evaluate for tumor recurrence or a gastro-intestinal cause for weight loss. The other endocrine problem that causes weight loss is adrenal insufficiency - testing cortisol may be appropriate in this setting.
Avatar f tn Yes please talk to your dr, there are many things that could cause rapid or excessive weight loss and some of them can be serious. In addition to Thyroid and GI testing maybe ask about diabetes. It seems odd, but it can cause weight loss.
Avatar m tn If your thyroid levels aren't right for you, you will have a hard time losing weight. You may still be hypo, even if your lab reports show your levels to be "in range". You may need an adjustment in your medication. Can you post your most recent lab results, including TSH, Free T3 and Free T4, along with reference ranges listed on your lab report? Reference ranges are lab specific, so must come from your own report.
Avatar f tn Im trying to lose weight i have two boxes of diet pills i am wanting to try one is slimquick and other slimquick hoodia does anyone know if it works
Avatar f tn I can honestly say crash diets are not that great for long term weight loss. I have always been quite a large child, whilst all my siblings were rather tiny and I struggled so much with Weight but what I felt worked best was eating lots of protein and lean meats with lots of vegetables. I also found green tea with lemon and raspberry tea quite effective. It takes time but you'll get there.
393685 tn?1425812522 There has been new information released recently on the use of particular weight loss drugs and the use of Levothyroxine together. The specific weight loss medication is Alli ( which is the brand name for the medication Rx Orlistat) Orlistat is a drug that promotes fat-blocking - taken with meals to help block some of the fat -- and therefore fewer intake of calories -- from meals, and aids in some weight loss.
5628691 tn?1402506562 I mention these things, because I went from 115 pounds to 140 in less than 3 months and struggled with my weight for over a year, before finally being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and being started on replacement thyroid hormone. I was keeping my weight steady and even managing to lose a few pounds, when all of a sudden, it skyrocketed again and after struggling with it for nearly another year, I was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance.
Avatar m tn m working on getting thyroid levels right, so I can lose the weight I gained when my thyroid malfunctioned 6 yrs ago (30 lb in 3 months). Once you've ruled out medical/medication issues, you can then proceed with your plans to join the gym and start eating a healthy diet. To be honest, I've tried numerous supplements, mostly from The Vitamin Shoppe, because I don't have a GNC nearby (they both carry the same/similar products) and have yet to find one that works well.
658757 tn?1397796878 What does your doctor say about this weight loss? Do you have any other symptoms besides the weight loss? I would have my doctor do further tests to see why you are losing weight.
Avatar f tn fatigue, weakness, weight gain, trouble losing weight, sensitive to cold, muscle aching and cramps, constipation, depression, memory loss, odd menstrual periods.

Avatar f tn No, assuming that you don't have an eating disorder, this is not normal unless you retain a lot of fluid, which you shouldn't, at your age ......... It sounds like you could be suffering from an overactive thyroid; have you ever had thyroid function tested? Get the following tests: TSH, Free T3 and Free T4, plus TSI; and get checked for Type I diabetes........ these are 2 major health issues that cause weight loss....... don't panic, but get tested for both asap....
