20 pounds from my thyroid?
by Erin
(Maryland)
My doctor agreed and referred me to an endocrinologist. It turned out I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and my thyroid levels were really low.
It was amazing; once I was on medication, I immediately noticed a positive change in my energy levels and my ability to concentrate. The condition had come on so gradually that I hadn’t even noticed how lethargic I was becoming.
After my diagnosis, I talked to my mom and learned that my grandmother and uncle both had thyroid problems. Who knew? I told my sister to get herself checked out, just in case. Now we're both taking daily thyroid medication--and feel 100% better.
