Weight Gain
by JoanneBog, Jan 19, 2009 12:54PM
I was on thyroid med last year and thyroid became hyper. I was told to cut my 50 MCG tablet in half. Then I just stopped taking it all together. Three months ago I stated taking estrogen and progesterone. I have gain 25 pounds in the last year and currently weigh 169 pounds. I am 5' 5" and 55 years of age. Last week my blood work showed that I was hypo again and my doctor put me back on Levothyroxin (levothyroxine) 50MCG. Will I be able to lose the 25 pounds I gained? My energy level is still very low in the morning and I am feeling a little disgusted right now. Also, while taking Levothyroxin (levothyroxine) you need to take it first thing in the morning and cannot have any calcium or iron supplement for at least 4 hours. Does that mean I can't have calcium fortified milk for 4 hours? Or iron rich eggs? Thank you, JoanneBog
