I have a bit thyroid, had an ultra sound about 8 years ago & was told it was fine, just large. For the past year, I’ve noticed I’m very tired, just can’t get it together, I’ve gained 15 pounds in 2 months without changing my diet at all, I don’t eat the fats, or yucky stuff, I kept a diary of all foods going in & the caloric amounts, only 1000 - 1200 a day. My arms & legs ache all the time, I have horrible muscle cramps in the legs, my face is puffy, my stomache is always bloated no matter what I eat, I cut out diet soda, cut out starches. My nails used to be very long, they are now brittle, my hair was long, it is now short, it breaks so easy. I had my thyroid tested last year and was told it was on the low end of normal. Could this be an underactive thyroid? If it is, once corrected will the weight come off? It’s very upsetting to see weight gain without the benefit of pigging out! Could this affect blood sugar?
