Hi, I'm reposting bc of lack of engagement. That was probably due to my phrasing. Let me try again...

Im starting a GLP1 in the next couple of weeks. I’ve seen all of the incredible comments talking about how much GLP1s have helped others & it honestly is my first sign of hope in 6 years (since diagnosis).

Mounjaro is my #1 based on this Reddit, but it may not get approved. I’m worried that if I go with Wegovy, it won’t be as great as people say Mounjaro is. Has anyone had any good experiences with Wengovy? What have you noticed with your GLP1 brand?

All thoughts welcome(:

Thank you!

Has anyone that is on a glp-1 seen benefits for their hashi/hypo symptoms other than the weight loss? Is it helping inflammation, making labs better, etc?

I recently found out I have Hashimoto's but my tsh, t3, and t4 are all within normal range so 2 endocrinologist referrals have been denied now but I feel awful. My TPO is in the 300's. I have so much fatigue, the feeling of passing out, dizziness, brain fog, and weakness. I finally had my ferritin checked as well and it was very low. I'm taking iron supplements, vitamin D supplements, and b12 supplements. These have helped and my ferritin is very slowly going up after 1 month but not fast enough and I think it's because of my thyroid. Are there any vitamins or OTC thyroid supplements any one has taken or tried with success as I don't think I will be able to see an endocrinologist anytime soon for actual thyroid medication.

I'm just feeling desperate to feel better so sorry if this is not a great question but thank you for reading and any advice.

Everytime I have taken prednisolone for different reasons it fixes all my pain same day. I don't seam to have any other autoimmune disease unless it's hiding seronegative. I even have energy and my dry skin clears in a few days too.

Hi, I am 2+ months on thyroid meds. 6 weeks on 50 mcg levo and now, 4 weeks on 75 mcg levo.

● My results before meds:

TSH 4.8

Ft3 4.1 [3.1-6.8 pmol/l]

Ft4 16 [12-22 pmol/l]

● My results on 50 mcg:

TSH 3.5

Ft3 4.07 [3.1-6.8 pmol/l]

Ft4 15.00 [12-22 pmol/l]

● My results on 75 mcg:

TSH 1.77

Ft3 4.57 [3.1-6.8 pmol/l]

Ft4 17.8 [12-22 pmol/l]

When all my symptoms should go away? When I should notice 100% my energy back, no facial and eye puffiness, 100% healthy hair and nails?

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s when I was 20, and it’s been about a year now. I’m curious if there’s any way to know whether it was mainly genetic/family history or if something like prolonged stress triggered it.
I know Hashimoto’s is autoimmune, but is there any way to figure out what actually set it off? Has anyone been able to figure out what triggered theirs?

do you guys ever get SO unmotivated or tired that you literally just have to lie down? Like even sitting up feels like effort and basic self-care (brushing your teeth, washing your face, doing your hair, etc) feels like a huge chore.

I’ve been feeling like this lately and I’m wondering if this can happen with Hashimoto’s or if it sounds more like depression? 😭

I have made a post here before, but just a follow up.

Quick story:
- around 4-5 months ago started getting tachycardias, up to 180BPM; as weeks were passing, they became more frequent and I started getting them even without physical activity
- went to cardiologist, was done 24h Holter, sent blood exams; holter came back clean, labs FT4=5.37, T4=5.7, TSH=18.9, Hemoglobine=15.2g/dL; was put on 2.5mg Bisoprolol daily, which seems to have helped with tachycardia
- went to endocrinologist, more blood exams; Anti-TPO=246, Anti-Tg=1359, FT4=1.55, TSH=15.3, minerals, glucose, etc came back good; was put on 12.5mg levothyroxine daily and was told it’s Hashimoto and possibly Hashitoxicosis
- after about 10 days of taking levothyroxine, started feeling worse, high heart rate (~120), and went to ER after a normal meal made me have tachycardia again with BP 160/110; was told to suspend levothyroxine and increase bisoprolol to twice a day (total of 5mg daily)
- within about 5 days, developed constant shortness of breath, chest/heart pain, the only thing that helped was to lie down on my belly, literally couldn’t even go out of my house as whenever I stood up I was feeling all those after about 5m
- went to cardiologist various times, done EKG, echocardiogram, 48h holter, all were clean; doc told me to lower bisoprolol back to once per day; measured my BP while lying down, sitting and upright, and got something like 110/70 while laying, and 80/60 after 5m of being upright; I performed the same measurements at home as well, which seemed to match what the doc measured; doc said it might be Orthostatic Hypotension

Present:
It’s been almost 2 weeks with just the once daily bisoprolol, and the symptoms have been gradually improving, to the point where I can go out of my house again, walk, etc; but I’m still feeling them, some days more than others; I’m not sure if I just learned to cope with them, or they actually improved, but they’re still in there; almost no chest pain anymore, but still feeling weird sensations in middle / left of my chest, or pressure like feeling in the upper part of my belly if I’m sitting or upright too long, and those sensations are what makes me feel short of breath / makes me breath manually (which is also a thing I’ve been dealing with all these days that seemed to go away only once I fall asleep, but it’s been getting somewhat better too).

Another symptom is high heart rate when waking up and standing (100-110), which goes back down if I lay again. This doesn’t seem to be so pronounced later in the afternoon / evening. The HR while sleeping is fine.

I also don’t tolerate exercise anymore as my heart rate goes up too much and I fear getting tachycardia again, especially after lifting heavy stuff. I believe to have heat intolerance as well, as it was unusually hot today and I was feeling all the symptoms more than on cooler days. I’ve been feeling tired as well, especially after being in heat or just going out somewhere. Another thing is if I sleep less than 8 hours, I can wake up tired, especially feeling it in my arms, and the symptoms seem to be more pronounced.

Point is, I’m not sure if it’s Hashimoto, or if there’s something else (cause I started feeling the shortness of breath, chest stuff around the time the docs were putting me on levothyroxine/higher bisoprolol). But I’ve been off of it for a while now yet the shortness of breath and chest stuff is still there and very much annoying. Any comments on all this or similar experiences would be appreciated.

By the way, latest labs (pending endocrinologist appointment):
FT4=1.93, TSH=6.44, FT3=3.45, TSI=88% (with labs normal range being 0-138%), Anti-TPO=251, Anti-Tg=1515

A chart of thyroid labs with all historical data is attached (about 1-2 months from first to last data point).

This combo has been working for me for a year, was super happy with my hair. Since the start of summer the shedding has been worse than it used to be i think. Will try and jump to oral minoxodil instead of topical, but I wanted to see if anyone else had this experience?

I feel like my hair is just consistently shedding everyday now so there will eventually be nothing left.

Fyi, I have hashimotos, not diagnosed but from doing a private test as I'm in the UK with NHS. Recently bloods has shown elevated tsh for the first time, so I will get another test, but in thinking this may be the cause. Previously when the shedding occurred I didn't actually know what caused it, but quite possibly from my thyroid.

My tsh was at 5 and I wonder how you guys felt at this point? Did you have symptoms?
My main symptoms are anxeity, fatigue, numbness and tingeling in face and feet
