I have been on thyroxine now for several years due to a badly underactive thyroid, i was unlucky to be ill with an underactive thyroid for 3 years before doctors finally diagnosed it, before then they just kept telling me i had depression (which is a symptom).
By the time i was finally put onto tablets, i had gained weight, was getting very bad dizzy spells, was very depressed, my hair had lost its shine, and just felt ill and tired all of the time, it was horrible. My personality also changed and i have lost a lot of confidence and do not go out the house too often any more.
Now, although i feel a lot better, i dont feel great still, often tired i find everything difficult and tiring, the thyroxine halted my weight from going up any more but im finding it difficult to loose, even though i dont eat very much and what i do eat is healthy (mainly a salad for lunch and chicken and veg for dinner).
I feel like a lot of my life has been wasted through feeling ill from this and would love to find something to perk me up and help me loose weight also.
