HI. I was reading the follow ups on this site and I felt really motivated to write back. A year and a half a go I weighted 160 lbs. and today I weight 230 lbs. About 5 days ago I found out that I have Goiter * that is supposed to be some sorth of enlargement of the thyroid gland wich causes hypithyroidism. I had been gaining weight uncontrolably for quite a while now and my doctor wouldn't listen to me when I said I thought the problem had something to do with my thyroid. I went to an endocrinologist on my own and discovered what I know today. I want to loose weight but my problem is I have low blood sugar problems and I have to eat every 2 to 2 1/2 hours and if I don't I start getting my symptoms. I also suffer from terrible body pain and I don't know the cause.I'm only 20 and I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter, I'm a woman with alot of responsability and very little time on my hands. Please if you have any advice contact me at dreamangel42510@hotmail.com
