underactive thyroid
"Diagnosed earlier this year with hypothyroidism after symptoms. I had gained over 35  pounds in a year. I went to the doctor and they put me on Levothyroxine (25 mcg) . I have been on it a month and there is a big difference from before I started the medicine. You must wait at least 6 - 8 weeks before your body even starts to see results because it takes time! In the month that I have been taking it I have gone from 184lbs to 170lbs! I have not changed my diet or exercise routine at all. I am eating more than before (I had no urge to eat and only ate once a day) and actually have hunger pains now to eat. I also take mine at night before bed (it upset my stomach if I took it during the day) and I have more energy and not feeling bloated!!!!"
