While we are on this weight loss subject I have a question? When I was diagnosed hypo my doc started me on 25mcg and increased me every 6weeks until I got to 112. I am now at 137mcg and 5mcg of Cytomel twice a day. I have had horrible battles with weight loss since, This summer was the best I have done in a long time then thryoid went nutty again.
Now my mother and her sisters who were diagnosed hypo were started out on high doses of synthroid and then gradually brought down> they got their energy back quicker, and lost all the weight within a year. My mom was 220 pounds then went to a comfortable 150 for her weight and age almost effortlessly.
My question is were any of you treated this way and was it more effective at getting your strength and body back in shape?
