Do you treat fat people differently?

Really? Wait...I feel like we've talked about this before. Are you on synthroid currently?

Yes and get my blood sucked every month LOL.

Been both! Was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis (HYPER) after my preganacy then in April I was diagnosed with hashimoto disease which is HYPO.

Actually, in postpartum thyroiditis you initially go hyper since the inflamed thyroid over produces hormone, then it goes hypo for a few months. Most recover after a short course of therapy. You probably dont even need synthroid anymore as I highly doubt you have Hashimotos...PPT mimics Hashimotos in this instance. Many docs will just label it the most common etiology for hypothyroidism....Hashimotos and put you on meds and be done with it. It's you that has to take the meds the rest of your life. I would talk to another doctor about your diagnosis.

Did Ashley change her screen name?

Compensating for other areas of life that are lacking...I bet he enjoys being a fatboy that can kick someone's ass. Look at Tank Abbott. He can kick the average guy's ass but he is still a fatass with metabolic syndrome who will die an early death.

Nevermind. I'm not sure how to take that so I'm just going to leave it alone.

For me personally, I've failed at losing weight the conventional way of just dieting and going to a regular gym lifting weights. I get bored and won't stick to it. Martial arts is the only active thing that I have stayed with my whole life. I used to bowl professionally for years and played alot of golf, but I never enjoyed either of them. I've always been active in some way, just horrible diet and soda addiction. I worked for a vending company for years and had full access to every kind of junk food imaginable. Filling drink machines, moving machines all took excersise and alot of strength, but still taking in junk. It's 110 degrees outside and you're busting ass to get to location to location, I'd open a machine, open a can, take a drink and throw it away never realizing how many times a day I was doing that and taking in ALOT more calories than I thought I was.

She has been testing me every month since April and they just now got me regulated on 100mg of Synthriod. Apparently mine is not going back to normal. She said that sometimes postpartum thyrioditis causes too much damage to the thyriod that it wont go back to functioning normal. In this case thats what most likely happen. GOD, I wish it would go back to normal so i can feel normal again. I still feel like SHIT all the time.

hey dav - can you explain to me how a prolactinoma effects hypothyroidism? does one cause the other? how does a doc know which one to treat if they are often found concurrently in patients?

(sorry for the thread jack...just curious)

LOL he is good. He diagnosed me before the Doctor did on several occasions.

[davbrucas]

You cannot make that diagnosis while you are still on synthroid. Has she tried to wean you off the meds?
