My doctor got all my thyroid test back and says some indicate a problem and some look fine...so she referred me to an endocrinologist. She thinks I should go on a low dose of thyroid medicine and see if it helps and shrinks my thyroid down a little so I don't feel it pressing on my neck...the tightness I feel in my throat at times might be actual tightness because my thyroid is so large.
It also might help me with my anxiety issues...and my pains! We shall see. I go on Tuesday. I am happy to get in so quickly since it took me 6 months to get an appointment last time.
As for my weight loss, I have met my original goal of 174 lbs. I have lost 41 lbs total so far. My new goal for my weight loss group is 167 lbs, so I don't have real far to go. I'm still doing low carb and I am kinda watching my calories too.
I don't know how thyroid medication will play into the weight loss equation.
