Hi everyone!

I got just word last night that it seems that I have Hashimoto thyroiditis. My doc had trouble figuring out what was wrong with me because initially I was diagnosed with hyperthyroiditis at which point I went for my sonogram and uptake scan which strangely enough came back normal. That led to another blood test which now shows that I am hypothyroidic!! AGGHH!! What is going on??? So I started browsing for info about Hashimoto's and I stumbled upon this site yesterday and read some of the posts of the different meds that everyone had exepriences with. I have my first sit-down with the Doc next Wednesday and wanted to know if anyone had any advice as to what meds they would recommend over all those that are available. ( I know that meds vary based on individual situation but I want to make sure I get the right treatment options). I have at least 10 pounds I want to lose and I don't want to make it any harder to lose it by having the wrong meds. I hear it is hard enough to get rid of the weight with this condition. SO any advice that you guys could give would be enormously appreciated!!
Thank you!!!
