Endocrinologist said no weight loss drugs until my labs are “normal” bc they won’t work—
Is this true? I was diagnosed last November with Hashimoto’s & hypothyroidism. Within a year prior due to taking antidepressants and hashis without knowing my weight went from 150lbs to 200lbs.
My thyroid antibodies were over 800, they’re now much lower. My TSH was a 49, now a 9. Still not normal yet and I still physically feel awful, so I’m taking my synthroid daily as recommended and TSH is declining. Sometimes my doctor feels dismissive and so idk if I’m overthinking it, but would it be true that weight loss drugs wouldn’t work at all if my labs aren’t optimal? I’m just suffering so much from feeling like a zombie all the time. No energy, losing hair (I’m only 28) with my weight being the highest it’s ever been… all of these things are really weighing on me. I now weigh 217lbs and it seems every doctors appt I’ve gained at least 5 more lbs.
Will I always weigh this much? I feel so down.
