[QUOTE="Tigerkitty1950, post: 605685, member: 89702"] You prob need your thyroid levels tested again, I was told I was fine on 50 mg but feeling exhausted after mowing the lawn I was re tested and told I needed to up it to 100 mg, we agreed to make it 75mg for A few weeks and I found I was losing the occasional pound here and there, and I feel more energetic, Im now up to 100 mg and hoping for better weight loss, the bowel problems are related to losing potassium when taking metformin, I started eating a banana, or plain yogurt, or a baked potato, canned tuna etc, to increase my levels, it helped a lot, for cramps in the leg I use tonic water it has quinine in it, I still eat some carbs as I want to help my muscles to deal with exercise on a bicycle, I think though I will have to alternate with walking for bone strength. So far I have lost only 4lbs in the last 3 weeks, but its a step in the right direction [/QUOTE]
