I'm hypothyroid. I was diagnosed many years ago. I take levothyroxine daily and remember it took several months for my system to get adjusted but my readings were pretty extreme when diagnosed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. There's a lot involved and affected by it, so I know I had a lot to learn.

Basics: Youmust start the meds gradually because it's a shock to the system and can make bigger problems if you suddenly have too much. It's a delicate balancing act... too much is as bad as too little. You'll need to be tested frequently to start.

I lost 42 lbs in the first 6 months on the meds, but that's not common.
