I was put on meds. for hypothyroid recently. My problem is I look like I am 6 months pregnant! What can I do about my big belly? will the medicine make it go away eventually or is it here to stay? I can't do crunches/situps because of neck pain.
I'm right there with you....
When I was undergoing treatment for my thyroid ( Grave's Disease and Hashimoto) I was going to a doctor at the Joslin Diabetic and Endroconology Center in Indianapolis, IN. I remember making the comment to my Mother who was with me "look how big the people's stomachs are in this waitng room". Now whethter they were thyroid or diabetic patients I do not know but amazingly I have the large stomach now also. Even when I was thinner I always have had a "little pouch".
I underwent radioactive iodine treatment so I am now hypothyroid even with medication I still have it.
Let me know if you find any resources to get rid of it....I have muscle issues that keep me from much exercise.
