Hello Everyone!
There are so many blogs out there about people struggling with Hashimoto's disease. I can honestly say the struggle is REAL! I'm a mommy of 2 girls and I am 35 years old. I have been struggling with an underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism) since I was 19 years old. If my children could write something on my blog they would probably tell you that I am a hibernating bear, always ready for a nap
I can sleep anywhere, anyhow and for any period of time. I LOVE sleep! I think the thing I miss most from my childhood is afternoon naps.
It was only until about 2 years ago that I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's after an ENT biopsied nodules in my goiter. I probably have had it for many years but no GP ever bothered to check my anti-bodies when they did bloods for my TSH levels.
I have been using Eltroxin 0.1mg since I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2001 but my GP recently changed my dosage to 0.1mg/ 0.15mg alternating every other day. I should after 4 weeks start to notice "THE CHANGE". Anyway.... I could not wait any longer, not 4 weeks, not even a day so I decided to get a script for Duramine 30mg.
I am pretty active, exercise 4 - 5 times a week and my diet is 85% healthy, as any patient with Hashi's will tell you your body is intolerant for most nice things like gluten, wheat and diary. But I an most definitely not a health freak and do not follow a paleo diet. I try to keep things healthy for my family as far as possible and choose to prepare fresh veggies and fruits rather than any processed foods. My husband is a freak of nature, he looks at a diet and drops 5kg so he really can afford to have that piece of chocolate every night... I, on the other hand look at wine and gain 5kg... but that does not stop me from indulging in a chockie or some pudding over the weekends, yes it does have gluten and most definately refined sugars which I am not supposed to have. I am a real pudding face suppose it's like honey to a hibernating bear right?
So, herewith my starting stats:
Date: 01 May 2017
Height: 1.65m
Weight: 74kg
Age: 35
Goal: 60kg
I will try to take some pictures and post some updates on a weekly basis. Today was my first day taking Duromine and I can already see that my h2o intake is much better. Sleep won't be a problem for me, lol, seeing that insomnia might be one of the side affects listed.
Please let me know if any of you had any success with Duromine and Hashi's. Support would be GREATLY appreciated.
