Suggest Treatment For Wait Gain In Thyroid Patient
Hi,
I now have an under active thyroid after having it removed about 9years ago. I take 125mg of thyroxine daily but still have many problems with tireness, lack of sex drive and weight gain. My doctor says I am on correct dose. I walk my dog for 45mins/1 hour a day and am a reception teacher so fairly active during the day. I dont eat that much but do admit to afew cakes/biscuits but not to excess. I have recently started going on a running machine for 20mins, which I can only manage when I am on school hols due to engery levels. I am only short so weight gain is worse. Please help as I am tired of going to the doctors with no results but then they moan when people get obese. Regards Sharon.

if you have no cause for obsity like Cushing disease and Body Mass Index is more than 30 + no thyroid nodule history + failed diet program, I suggest Liraglutide injection for weight loss
