Hello!

I have an underactive thyroid. Diagnosed in June 2008.
In July 2009 after many tries with Thyroxine to get the levels right, it finally regulated, then, I fell pregnant!

Since I had my baby its all over the place. Im still in the process of trying to get the levels right.

Has anyone else had this? I have another blood test on Friday.

Its so frustrating. Im a healthy person. I eat healthy and exercise. But when the levels are wrong, my weight is so bad!

Thanks

I was diagnosed a year ago with hypothyroid condition called Hashimoto’s, I take my thryroid medication everyday, and have my blood levels checked every 3 months. The Doc says my hormone levels are good now. However, ever since I was diagnosed with this, I catch every bug around. As soon as I get over a bad cold, a few days later I have an ear infection, then a couple of weeks later bronchitis, then a stomach flu and so on… I eat healthy and keep active (when I am not sick in bed). I keep good hygene and live in a healthy environment ( near the Alps!) but keep getting sick. Anyone out there with a similar problem? Is there anything I can do to strengthen my immune system or are people with this thyroid problem doomed to a crappy immune system? I am so embarrassed to always be sick.

Someone told me I may have a thyroid condition and would like to know what it means. I’m going to go to the dr. But I wanna know before I go. Please help?
