topic throid meds. in Community Chat https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/throid-meds/m-p/15132#M6579 <P>I have had an autoimmune issue since having my baby almost 2 years ago. Was fine when I went in except for the issues that caused the premature delivery. so I am on 200 mg plaquenil daily and once a month I go in for an IV med of Orencia. My blood tests have shown that I may be developing an underactive thyroid. Two months ago I took routine tests and my blood showed a possible over active so I retested 6 weeks later and all except 1 is off, which is now showing may be becoming underactive. My doctor said to retest in a month but then his nurse called (I have Kaiser) and said I could go on meds. I told her "I thought I'm suppose to retest first". She was clueless.</P> <P>It just seems like so many meds. I'm only 35. I have noticed a weight gain of 12 pounds in the past year. But I was underweight last year due to the baby and birth and complications.</P> <P>Does anyone here take thyroid meds? How long before you noticed your weight going back to normal?</P> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:48:28 GMT mom2six 2011-01-11T18:48:28Z throid meds. https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/throid-meds/m-p/15132#M6579 <P>I have had an autoimmune issue since having my baby almost 2 years ago.
