Hypothyroidism!
I’ve had it for almost 15 years. Pregnancy/birth didn’t help, but I’m finally back on the right track.
Medication, exercise, diet. ☑️
Anyone else struggle with their diagnosis?

Yes I did about 5yrs ago, I realised that's what was preventing me from falling pregnant for all those years, started medication & bamm pregnant the very next month! The 16yr age gap certainly kills me these days though!🤦♀️
I developed graves a few months after I had my twins and I didn’t get tested for at least 6 months after because I just chalked up my excessive tiredness to have twins and nursing them and not eating enough.
Went on low dose methimazole for about a year then got off because I started going hypo and not hyper and now I’ve been told I have both graves and hashimotos but my tsh was in normal range so I tried a few weeks to see if I could manage but I couldn’t handle it anymore being too tired to wake up with my kids and needing a nap around 5pm to get enough energy to make dinner.
So now I’m on levothyroxine and feeling better after only a week but I’m on a journey to find a better way to deal with this disease and heal myself because I’m over not being able to give my all to my family and I want to get off all the meds I’m on at 33.
I have a huge list of prescription and otc meds and vitamins like 2 pages of them and it continues to get bigger.
Now in doing Dr livingoods courses
How is levothyroxine working for you? Any side effects?
Thank you

Pelvic floor therapist while pregnant
At night I get such bad pelvic pain and my doctor said it’s normal because baby is getting heavy and bigger. I’m 28 weeks 2 days. Did do anyone pelvic floor therapy for that reason? I just hope my medical covers it.

Pain ?
I’m exactly 31 weeks with twins and since last night my tail bone and ribs and random cramps (I can’t find a pattern in them but I am in so much pain in general I am struggling to tell what’s caused by what) have been so painful. I thought I’d be able to sleep it off like I do most things but it’s remained.
Babies are moving around so I know they’re okay but I’m not sure if I need to get checked? I’m already dealing with a kidney blockage that can’t be fixed til I give birth so I’m not sure if it’s that or not
