Does anyone have a thyroid problem and its affecting the patuitary gland?

I was just recently told that my thyroid levels are low and it's possibly affecting my patuitary gland which is why I have gained so much weight recently and can't lose any. I am going to see a specialist on Monday, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and what is being done...Also, have you lost weight?

  1. I was just in the hospital for this, and now I am taking medication. I have lost a few pounds, but nothing major yet. You will have to go back regularly for blood tests to test the level of the medication in your system to make sure you are recieving the proper dosage. It's really not that bad. I am adjusting to it nicely. I have been on meds since beginning of February, and I will be going for my first blood test this week to see if I am regulated on my dosage properly. And wait until you get that medication running thru your system!! The energy I now have is amazing!! I feel like a new woman!! And I'm hungry now, as I never was before, and I have lost 5 pounds since February! Good luck!!
