I feel hope tonight

Posted: Jan 2, 2013

I have had hypothyroidism for some years now, since the late 80s and have been tried back and forth on different medicines. I have met people who told me they went on medication and immediately their weight came back to normal, never happened to me. I have tried all things hoping something would take, diets, exercise. My appetite has waned while my weight has steadily been climbing. I right now do not like me in my own skin. I had some indepth tests done at the endocrinologist's office a couple of months ago, found I am somewhat insulin resistant and the T3 and T4 are a little off but today the physician told me she has other things we can tried and prescribed metformin. She said no draw backs at all to that, people have lost weight and the cost is just about a give away it is so inexpensive (120 tablets for not even $3.00 for me). This is the first step and then she said secondly if that does not work for me we can do combo of metformin and phenteramine and that should really work even faster. I wanted to lose some weight so much I had even looked into the lap band but at my age did not want to kill myself in the process of losing weight and there were some complications that kind of frightened me. Tomorrow I start hopefully a new episode in my life and I am really excited and feeling hope now. ;
