BTW nothing really worked for me weight wise except restricting carbs to only eating "good" carbs (complex).. However it may be different for each person...who knows. Just a tip.
Yep, I've noticed this too. Never really put much thought into it until you just mentioned it. Sigh.Are any of the ladies losing hair elsewhere...Im noticing I dont need to shave my arms & legs nearly as much as I used to
It explains a lot for me too! Off to google I goYour post literally gave me goosebumps, I have never heard of Thyroid Storm before, but it certainly explains alot.
I hate pcos AND I am praying that God will deliver me from this awful syndrome.
This is the same problem I am having. I have had blood work done on myself after not being able to lose weight, having extremely heavy cycles, experiecing shedding as well as a host of other thyroid symptoms. Turns out I Hashimoto's Thyroiditits, only I cannot find a doctor to treat me.
It has really broken my heart to have lost so much of my progress since my hair has been shedding i have had to keep trimming and trimming. I am taking more supplements now and hopefully I will get this shedding thing under control. I am taking Super B complex, drinking green smoothies, taking flaxseed oil, garlic oil, a multi vitamin, vitamin D and biotin. I am going to try some of the others posted in this thread as well.
But now I am focusing on weightloss as well and that in itself is an uphill battle.
i have hypothyroism. i had hyperthyroidism first and then they gave me radioactive iodine and now i have to take synthriod all my life. i feel pretty good now, but my hair is just like wow, sooooooooooo dry and brittle. it's breaking like crazy now. i have had it hypo for about 6 years now. i'm natural. i've been natural for wow, about 9 years i think? my hair texture was so pretty and smooth. i had big curls (in some areas), now it's brittle and coarse. it's cool though. i till do my thang with iti am learning that i really have to keep it super moisturized. if i don't, it's gonna continue to break. oh and be really gentle with it.
Wow I love this thread since I can totally relate. I have insulin resistance but it's a cycle I go through due to almost 20 years of insulin therapy. I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 14 and was diagnosed with hyothyroidism about 3 years. These each contribute in decreasing my metabolism amongst other health issues.
I've found doing 5 minutes of exercise in the morning greatly contribute in boosting my metabolism and which lead to less insulin dependency throughout the day. I'm actually journaling my weight loss journey and analyzing insulin requirements relative to metabolic increases.
Ladies I'm glad this post has been started. I am hypo and I take the lowest dosage of synthroid once a day. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I am still tired all of the time and when I get my blood levels checked they always say it is in the normal range. It is so frustrating. Any my libido is extremely low. The best thing I have done so far is go natural. My hair is still dry but not as dry as when I had a relaxer. I get my hair flat ironed once a week and I'm wearing it straight right now. How do you ladies cope with libido issues? I am 34 and I cant imagine how it's gonna be in a few more years if it is this low now.
