Problems Losing Baby Weight & Thyroid Issues

hi. go and see Dr. Tsao in torrance ca. He is an endrocrinologist. He is excellent. He will do extensive testing to find the route of the problem. they are missing something. you have severe symptoms and they need to be addressed sooner rather than later. If you need his number email me back. He is near little Co of mary hospital

I was wrongly diagnosed with hypothyroidism a couple of years ago. Meds were causing me side effects so I seeked 2 other doctor opinions. The problem was I was wrongly diagnosed and the side effects were the way that my body was telling me so.
Some doctors are too hasty when it comes to diagnosis, they don't really research other possible links. Blood tests can give you inaccurate results too. Please look into that.
When they got me off those meds I was myself again!!
Then I started taking supplements and vitamins,, they do make a difference to your hair,skin and wellness if you are consistant taking them. good luck,M.

Dear R.,

If your blood tests show your thyroid is functioning with the medication but you can't lose the weight, it could be due to breastfeeding as other people suggested, or perhaps you have an autoimmune disorder in which you would need to test for thyroid anti-bodies with a TPO test. Ask your endocrinologist. If you are only taking medication for your thyroid but have done nothing to eliminate foods that inhibit thyroid function, you need to address that today. Please visit about.com and search thyroid. As someone who was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid and has NEVER taken medication, I can proudly say I have lost the weight and kept it off nutritionally.

Go see Dr. Samual Mayeda in Orange ###-###-####. He is an endocronologist. He doesn't take HMO's--- he only takes PPO's. He is excellent and is very thorough. I've been seeing him for hypothyroid and insulin resistance for 12 years.

If you are breastfeeding you probably won't loose the weight until you are past the 9 month mark or later (from experience) but you may have other imbalances. In any case, continue your prenatal vitamins. There are normal post-natal symptoms that include hair loss, so that may not even be related. Most of my family on both sides are hypothyroid & I'm taking the most % of meds of all...zinc & iron helped me, but I've never felt %100 until I started excercising.
I hope this helps

Dr. E.L. Conneally, Irvine. If she doesn't take your insurance, one of her partners will. There's a whole lot more going on than just your thyroid. Have your adrenal glands checked too. ###-###-#### (949)?

I'm kind of in a similar boat. Although I have never actualy been diagnosed with Thyroid problems. I do have pretty much the exact same symptoms you are describing. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my Thyroid checked.

I have lost a few pounds in the last week following the Weight Watchers points plan very strictly. I have lost 30 lbs on WW before and gained back 10, I can't get those 10 off again and those same 10 were really hard to lose in the first place.
