I’m just like you! Recently diagnosed and still feel like crud! Brain fog. Fatigue. Weight gain. I have been on meds 2 months now with 1 dosage increase. I get it. Ugh. I hope the meds can give us all some relief soon. I had to go keto because carbs and sugar make me feel Worse!

Your going to feel better and lose weight as soon as your medicine begins to work

It takes awhile to feel right and get the medication correct. Water weight is temporary. I thought it was great that I didn’t sweat but not for long. Good luck!
