I lost a kilo in weight
I have Hypothytoid.
In Israel treatment is/was Eltroxin. Until about year ago when the manufacturer changes the ingredient compound and many people were affected. There is now a country-wide court case.
And yet I had to argue with my gp to change my medication to another one. He finally agreed after a year but due to some issues and attitudes from home I switched to a female GP who seems much more understanding to my Plastics needs/dream. She told mt to do thyroid blood tests three weeks after starting the new medication. My numbers are almost in good range again but a bonus is that I started yo lose weight again ( please don't tell my body lol!).
1 March I see Dr.Haik my PS as check-up and hopefully to ask questions about boobs. My medical review from HMO for boobs is 6
March and takes up to two weeks to get answer from them.
Surgery is scheduled for mid-May.

I am also hypothyroid. Had my thyroid removed completely in 2008. I have also had problems with the medication. The gold standard for thyroid here in US is synthroid, but for some reason my body does not absorb it because I continued to be severely hypo even though the dr (endocronologist) said it was within range. I find that my range is a lot lower than the accepted standard in order for me to feel good/function properly. I finally got my gp to prescribe armour natural thyroid which is basically ground pig thyroids. It works for me beautifully. I got my life back. But I also have a difficult time getting the right dosage. I am assuming that it is because of constant change in my weight.
Hope you get yours straightened out. A lot of people don't understand how much not having good thyroid levels can impact your life and how much it affects weight gain/loss. Wishing you the best on your PS journey. I am so glad I don't have HMO. They seem so hard to deal with. Keep us informed on how it goes for you.
