Exercising with Hypothyroidism

My wonderful NP did a long exam & labs. Hypothyroidism. I was so elated to finally have a name for this invisible foe. Now I know who I'm fighting, & it gave me Hope. During a cardiac workup, a tech made a note to cardiologist about hyperparathyroidism. I asked about it. He said it's nothing. I was sent to an endocrinologist. He said your fine, didn't want to talk about it again. & No one ever said the word diabetic. It took my young NP that actually listens to people, to dig into my herd of symptoms. Not surprised it's genetic as well. Now I've started treatment, but it is so important to have a support system. I have two longtime friend with the same. Things are going to get better, & sleep already is. Now where's that energy switch? Patience & time, time & patience. Hang onto Hope everyone.

Good for you. I have bee in a literal fight with doctors with no result. I have weight gain even though I a careful what I eat and I work out five to six days a week. I alternate the exercises. I have extremely high cholesterol and diabetes starting. Cold hands feet constantly. Basal temps almost always 95 to 96 in morning after being under two blankets and winter pj’s and socks. I have brittle nails brittle hair. Headaches and tinnitus along with jaw pain. Thyroid nodules (not a problem) goiter and other swelling in left neck jaw area. Carpel tunnel symptoms as well as dry skin loss of hair arms and legs and can’t pinch skin on legs at all. Tsh 2.58 with t3 t4 near normal. They all say I’m eating too much and not working out. Ent had no idea what hypothyroidism type 2 is and endocrinologist dismissed it right away. I am extremely tired. They want me to take anxiety drugs. I’m at a loss
