Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hello, my name is Deedra. I live in Wisconsin and I am 25. I have just joined the ground and I have just found out within the last week that I have hypothyroidism. I have had a large increase in weight over the past couple of years and have been trying so hard to get it off with no success. I got a trainer and I just couldn't make it happen and she is the one that prompted me to see my doctor. I have a family history of thyroid problems, my Granddaddy had Graves Disease. So I have been on my meds now almost a week and I was just curious how is it for everyone else. How long before the symptoms start to die down. I have horrible fatigue headaches and muscle soreness along with being overweight. I actually had my thyroid tested back in 2003 and I now know, after getting a copy of my records from my last doctor, that my thyroid was low then. It is so frustrating to know that I could have already been on the road to getting better and getting my life back on track but my doctor did not pursue it. Any advice that anyone has to offer I would love to hear it. I feel I am fighting a lonely battle. My family is all very small and doesn't understand what I am going through and how hard I have been working to get nowhere. I have just been the fat sister who eats to much or isn't active enough when I really do lead a healthy and active lifestyle. I look forward to meeting everyone. Have a great night.
