Decrease in Sexual Drive (Libido)
Comments11/23/2006 8:48:00 PMPATTY said: I was diagnosed April 2006 with hypothyroidism. I am 50 years old and 5ft tall. I have always been very petite and never weight much over 105lbs. I gained aprox 20 lbs in one month. All my sex drive is gone,and i mean gone. When i ask my endocrinologist if i would lose the weight after i began treatment he said yes. When i went back for my check up a few weeks later (despite my calorie counting) i had gained ten more lbs. I was in tears because i am afraid i will keep gaining ,plus my husband is complaining about the sex or lack of. My endocrinologist said i would never weigh what i did before unless i was dying of cancer. He also said i would have to do arobic exercise one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon seven days a week and eat a 500 to 600 calories a day to lose back to 120 lbs. After that to maintain the 120 weight i would not be able to go over 1200 calories a day ,forever. As for the sex drive, that is what is normal at my age and it is normal for all woman and alot of men. When i started to tear up he said i was blowing everything way out of proportion repeating himself several times. My question is why didn't he tell me this in the beginning and am i blowing this out of proportion?? To me 500-600 calories a day doesn't sound healthy but what do i know? Even if he i am petty to him it still is REAL imprtant to me. Are these things really true. I do have a appointment for a second opinon but i can't be seen until the end of febuary 2007, Could some one else please tell me is this true? very very sincerly Patty
