Hashimoto and SP
Hi, I know there is a Thyroid forum, but since I want to eat balanced, ala SP, I thought i would ask my questions here. I have lurked here for a while, and am impressed with everyone's vast knowledge of EVERYTHING! So, I need some advice.
I was dxed hyperthyroid in august of last year. I started on tapazole, and felt fine. I never felt hyper before, but I didn't argue with bloodwork.
I maintained my weight by eating lc(ish) until about Jan of this year, when my dose was increased. I put 10 pounds on in the month of Jan. In these past 7 months, I have not been able to lose a pound! Despite exercise, and a bout of induction, then higher carb, lower fat. No exercise or probably over training, to no avail! I have been opn a lower dose for a month now, and nope nothing moved!
Anyways, I saw an endo yesterday, and he finally said the words "Hashimoto" My original dx never said anything! BUT, at least my endo is willing to test for more than usual thyroid labs: He wants, AM cortisol, Estradiol, FSH, and LH. I think I know what these things are, but how do they translate toward weight loss?
Has any Hashi poeple had success with SP?
ANY advice is appreciated!
