30 yrs old and can't lose weight no matter what I do :/
I have hypo and hasimotos. All my labs are normal just low vitamin D. I still have no energy and I have 3 kids to chase everywhere and having to take care of them all by myself during the week( bc husband leaves very early and gets home late ) I'm usually all alone. I have always weighted around 145 at my smallest and 165 heaviest but I have gone up to 180 and holding by seriously starving myself ( not really but that's how my body feels) and trying to go to the gym or at least walk everyday on the treadmill . Anyone ever lose the weight put on by this disease ? If so I would love to hear how. I'm struggling from depression bc of how this disease makes me feel. Tired all the time, could sleep for days, muscle weakness and horrible dry skin and moodiness is the absolute worst! If you have any info to help me I would so so appreciate it.
You can do that. Sometimes, on this site, C&P formats oddly, and it's hard to read for that reason, but try it and see how it goes.
If it isn't legible, you can just type it in. A good way to do that is, for example:
Test Result (Reference Range)
FT4 1.2 (0.8-1.8)
Which meds are you on?

I'm glad to hear they're aggressively supplementing your D. Yours is way too low. Be sure to follow up and make sure that your levels are increasing as you supplement.
Please post your actual thyroid test results. Many people still have hypo symptoms when their labs are "in normal range". Without actual numbers, we can't evaluate whether your doctor is testing sufficiently, nor can we suggest where you might best go in terms of meds change.
Which meds are you taking?
The level of antibodies seldom correlates with symptoms. Once you're diagnosed with Hashi's, further antibody testing is pretty much a waste of time and money. Antibody counts vary wildly, so the test is considered either positive or negative.

My d was at 22 so I am taking prescribes does of 50,000 iu once a week for 4 weeks and my thyroid levels are all normal. I have high thyroid antibodies at 240 and hey lowered to 189 three weeks ago but I feel horrible and I am now getting headaches which feel like migraines and stomach aches aswell . And I have no energy to to anything I used too such as workout, and chasing 3 kids has my nerves on edge! I feel like I'm losing it lol
