I am a 32 year old female. I noticed my neck was swollen almost 3
years ago. I went to a doctor and he misdiagnosed me. I weighed about 170
pounds at the time. Until I was 25 years old I weighed less than 140
pounds. I began to loose weight really fast and in 3 months I had lost down
to 130 pounds. I kept the weight off for about 6 months and then as quickly
as I lost the weight I gained it back. I went to a different doctor and he
diagnosed me as hypothyroid. I took Synthroid for 6 months and didn't
notice a difference. I weighed 175 pounds and I couldn't loose weight
despite the diets and exercise. I became severely depressed. I had a
thyroid ultrasound done and they said I had nodules. I ignored my thyroid
for over a year and gained another 50 pounds. I weigh 220 pounds now. I was
always in shape until I
turned 25 and I don't know what to do. I went to an
endocrinologist 3 months ago. He sent me for an ultrasound and a scan. They
proved a goiter with 8 nodules. He sent me to an ENT and they want to
remove the thyroid even though they feel certain it's not cancerous. I am
taking 12.5 mcg of Cytomel(T3). I am still depressed and tired all the
time. I am a housewife so there is no real reason for me to be tired all
the time. I have no energy and I just feel 'bad' most of the time. I work
out for an hour 6 days a week. I can't loose weight. Does anyone have any
suggestions or information? I don't want to have my thyroid removed. I am
scared that I will never be able to loose weight or I will feel even worse.
