Close Hypothyroidism
I've been diagnosed with hypo for about 3 years now, on Synthroid and Cytomel and finally starting to feel better.
Treatments
- Cytomel Working / Worked
- I have a normal TSH with a low Free T3; taking extra Cytomel has made a big difference for me.
- Hydrocortisone Working / Worked
- Worked great - felt like it was the "missing link" to help me feel better.
- Synthroid Working / Worked
Close Shyness
I'm super-shy! I somehow managed to get married but have no friends other than my husband. I can barely speak to people!
Open Food Addiction
I have periods where I binge eat and can't control the amount that I'm eating. I hate it and feel like food is ruining my life. I think about food almost constantly.
Treatments
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- This helps more than anything else, as long as I faithfully write down what I ate. I color code my binges in red.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Helps keep my weight normal, but doesn't stop the binges from happening
- Running Working / Worked
- It helps me keep my weight down despite the bingeing
