Hi all. I've been taking thyroid and adrenal supplements for over 10 yrs due to hypothyroidism, but stopped altogether about 2 yrs ago. AFTER I stopped taking them, I started losing weight, drastically. I ended up losing almost 80 lbs (I've been heavy all my life and was up to about 240). I realize that having STOPPED the thyroid, the opposite should have occured, I should have started gaining weight. During all this time my thyroid check ups have always come out fine, except when they first discovered I was low.
The weight loss has slowly stopped over the last 2-3 months. About 3 weeks ago I started taking thyroid again thinking maybe I needed it to get my metabolism going again. Now I've put weight back on, to the tune of almost 20 lbs. in the last month or so.
Any ideas what is going on? Everything seems to be the opposite of what SHOULD happen and I'm confused... Help?
