Menopauseand hypothyroidism
Posted , 5 users are following.
Ive been having menopause symptoms for over 2 years now, not taking any meds. Had been trying to lose weight in preparation for an operation. Exercised regularly for months. Usually the weight would fall off, but nothing! Felt this was very unusual for me. Doc checked my thyroid levels and found Im mildly hypo, and gave me a script for a low dose of thyroxine. Has anybody had similar onset of hypothyroidism during menopause? Would be very interested to hear how you got on.

im having the same problem.. I eat healthy , exercise, and have put half a stone on in 6 months.. It's driving me crazy.. I seem to eat less and put more weight on!,,
nothing I do seems to help or reduce my weight. I'm really depressed about it as all my clothes are starting to feel tight .
Someome suggested I get my blood tested for thyroid... So I will go next week .. In a way I hope it is otherwise I will be 6 foot under !! Oh to be a man !

yes, I was over the moon to be told I needed thyroxine. It just remains to be seen if I actually start to lose weight and feel better. Just taken the dog out for a leisurely hour long walk and feel exhausted. However, off to Boots to get the pills! Good luck!
