Carrot, I take 50 MCG of Synthoid daily (have for about 3 years) I kind of get the feeling that Dr. S thinks that thyroid meds may be overprescribed. My own expereince is that it improved my life in many ways. I would like to find a Dr. that would let me give Armour a try, I have heard that some people lose weight easier on that and have less hair thinning problems with it. I guess it is all individual. I do not understand Dr.s dealings with this disease sometimes, anyway. The t3/t4/and tsh level thing *still* confuses me!

A lot of the diet books tell you to have your hormones checked if having trouble losing ,but do not go into much detail as to what, how, etc.

I am thinking I may have to try less carbs daily than what I have been to lose what I want to. With the hypo I have to be sure to get *plenty* of fiber, if you know what I mean!

I am finding fitday. to be a help to me, too.
