Here are vital recommendations for people struggling with hypothyroid weight loss issues that have refused to go away. The results are tremendous.
Weighing more is a common symptom in most people. For the body to maintain the right weight, thyroids must be operating at maximum capacity.
Exercise and diet are an obvious recommendation for people struggling with such a problem. This recommendation is addressed in another forum. Getting treatment is a reliable option though not as easy as it sounds.
However, before you can get the right thyroid treatment you need the right physician. So, how do you find THE best doctor? By asking the right questions. Here are some good questions to start with.
How often will you test my thyroid if I need medication?
The tests are monthly before treatment.
What are my treatment options if I have hypothyroidism?
There are multiple treatment options that are determined by drugs.
How many types of thyroid problems are there?
There are two types of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and primary hypothyroidism.
Will my thyroid require antibody testing?
It depends on the type of condition you have since Hashimoto's requires such a test.
How do you treat the immune system?
Hashimoto's hypothyroidism requires immune support which necessitates such tests.
Will eating a certain way make my condition better or worse?
Diet plays a very big part in hypothyroid weight loss.
Having identified a professional physician to work with, the experiments on treatment begin. The discrepancies in response to medicine are brought about by the fact that individual biochemistry differs. The reaction after similar dosages and procedures differs.
Traditionally, the response of patients indicated whether treatment was effective. State-of-the-art technology has brought in testing kits. The evidence is however not conclusive and requires confirmation from patient reaction. One must therefore be fully aware of how the body is responding.
Hypothyroid weight loss happens in a concealed way alongside other indicators. This depends on the nature of treatment you are currently undergoing. It calls for close attention to your feeling on daily basis. The obsession should not be on the changes happening on the scale.
List all symptoms that were bothering you before treatment and make note of them and grade them. Then, during treatment, grade your symptoms and determine if you're getting better.
This won't happen overnight, but you should start to feel better within a couple of weeks. If you feel no improvement, let your doctor know and demand changes. If your doctor refuses to make changes, then you need to find another doctor that will LISTEN.
Hypothyroidism and weight are closely tied and so focusing on changing figures on the scale is not necessary. Failure to see change despite exercise and diet will only lead to frustration.
Your hypothyroid weight loss struggles and other symptoms will improve with the right treatment. However, your other symptoms will improve first, so focus on them to determine if you have the right treatment.
