There are cases where hypothyroidism shows no symptoms!

While undergoing a detailed examination for another illness, I visited the endocrinology department after my thyroid function test showed high levels. After rechecking to determine whether I had hyperthyroidism or not, I was diagnosed with thyroiditis, an inflammation of the thyroid gland, rather than hyperthyroidism. Usually, when inflammation occurs, the levels initially rise, then decrease afterward, which is characteristic of hypothyroidism. I took Synthroid for a year and was cured. The following is my experience over the past year while treating hypothyroidism.

First. Hypothyroidism doesn't always have obvious symptoms! Usually, the main symptoms include loss of appetite, fatigue, constipation, and weight gain, but I had no symptoms and was diagnosed through blood tests, and I received timely treatment.

Second. Endocrine-related diseases such as hypothyroidism require patience!

Initially, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and never imagined I would be taking medication for a year. I gradually reduced the medication dosage little by little, and it slowly improved. You need to have patience.

Third. Things I can do after being cured of hypothyroidism!

Regular exercise is important, so I have been consistently walking 10,000 steps since my diagnosis. Also, I always keep in mind the caution to visit the hospital if I experience excessive fatigue or weakness after recovery.

Fourth. What should I include in a diet for hypothyroidism?

Since hypothyroidism can cause constipation, I paid attention to fiber and fluid intake.
