Q: Hypothyroid (175 Micrograms)

Hi ,

i am new to the site and wanted to introduce myself I have had an underactive thyroid since I was around 16 years old (i am now 30) argghhh !!! I have had to deal with easy gain weight , depression , lump to the right hand side of my neck, tired (i am always tired) I also went to the hospital today and now I am awaiting an appt for an ultrasound scan.

I woke up yesterday and decided to change my lifestyle I booked myself into a gym , done an hour yesterday (god I was knackered) and decided to go back to weightwatchers (losing weight isnt as hard as what some people say - I know its hard , but we can all do it) and ya know what ? I felt great yesterday and full of energy, I have decided I am going to the gym 2/3 times a week before work at 6.30am (i believe positive thinking and the will power can help us all in the long run) good luck to all of you out there I know its hard but positive thinking takes you along way , negative thoughts will always bring you negative results !! All the best xxxxx

Hypothyroid 175 Mcg
Hi - same as u re 175 mcg! Mine post-op: damage from removal of ovegrown parathyroid 11 yrs ago. How's the positive thinking going ? I know it can be a battle. Keep up the gym if you can. Have you had a 2nd opinion from anyone? I can't get 'em to make much sense, or realise what a life-disturber this all is. Am entering a new round of tests 2 see how things are going - usually show nothing much!!
Best wishes. X
