I have recently been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Does anyone have any advice on how to manage it from a lifestyle perspective.
The most important thing is take your meds every day. You're going to be tired and sometimes depress. Your skin, hair and nails are going to change. But you can manage. Watch your weight, if not you're gonna gain weight.
This is not for everybody with hypothyroidism. But get ultrasounds every 2-3 years to check for nodules. If you happened to have, it should be once a year.
Good luck!
I have noted your advice with much appreciation,
It's definitely quite a change,

There could be some hair loss, but what I meant was the texture of your hair is going to change.
