I was diagnosed with hypoactive (i.e. underactive) thyroid about 20 years ago. I'm on the tablet for life.

For the few months before being diagnosed I was an overweight, fatigued, brain-fuddled mess but after the medication kicked in I started getting back to normality.

I found out that a person who had recently "recovered" from glandular fever and was back at work very kindly (not!) gave me a case of Hashimoto's disease.

Sorry, not keto-related. Back to the topic.
