Thyroid rollercoaster
Hey guys, looking for advice! TLDR: weigh loss when?
I was originally diagnosed with Graves *hyperthyroidism* in May 2022. Been through a lot of drama and messing around with the NHS and now suddenly my thyroid has decided to flip to COMPLETE hypothyroidism in March 2026🎉. Bro just nope-ed out and I guess.
So my TSH is now a spooky 72.3, T4 is 5.9 pmol/L and free T3 is 2.8 pmol/L. My specialist has slapped me on 100 micrograms of Levothyroxine 💪 and I’ve been on it for 5 days now, I understand this is too early for anything to change.
Honestly I kinda don’t care about my thyroid function. But I’ve always cared about my weight. I have fluctuated between 65kg and 80kg for 4 years. I’m now 79kg and this is what I’m tired of.
I hate how areas of my body are touching again, how my clothes are tight, how I just feel so tired and how I need to be careful about how I exercise.
Will I lose weight? When? I’m really rather depressed. Also please don’t tell me to seek therapy 😭 I want a stomach tattoo, and this constantly back and forth is pushing it back:(
