"i was diagnosed with hashimoto&#039;s thyroiditis in 2012, 3 years after they realized my thyroid was out of wack. progressively i have gained and gained weight, i am now 30lbs heavier than i was 9 months pregnant. i have other health issues that make me somewhat of a doctor&#039;s nightmare, or a puzzle they can&#039;t find all the pieces too. this is the start of trying to bring my weight down (my gw is 145) and that&#039;s about 80lbs. it&#039;s saturday nov 4, 2017, dose 1, 37.5mg, took my bp first, will check again in an hour and before bed. wish me luck! the nurse at my pcp&#039;s office is also on it, i was hesitant and had not filled my script right away, she has lost 13lbs in 4 weeks ... so, what do i have to lose? the weight!"
