Hello my name is christine, in 2004 I had gone to the drs office with symptoms of vertigo, he diagnosed me with hypothyroid disease. I am on synthroid .075. I do not have energy..But I do exercise regularly. I try to walk 30 minutes daily. I do tony little gazzelle 3xs a wk, I lift weights (body for life weight program) and have cut out carbs. I only have protein and low glycemic vegetables. I have only lost 10 lbs in the last 4 months and have 40lbs to go.. This is never ending battle for me and I am getting discouraged any suggestions: any natural herbs I can take that are safe with synthroid.. Also can you tell me if lean for less is effective and safe to take with synthroid.. The ingredients nopal cactus leaf powder 1000 mg (opuntia ficus) other ingr: are microcrystalline cellulose. I am really afraid to take anything with this medication. Has any one lost weight from having hypothyroidism. If so id love to hear how????? Thanks christine
