The legislation, House Study Bill 158,

I hit 235 shortly after the pandemic, a few years ago.  That's 75 lbs over my ideal weight. It was a result of a few things including the discovery that my thyroid was just about useless, generating no metabolism at all (hypothyroidism).  So even the "at rest" calories you're supposed to burn, weren't burning.  Upon reflection I think I've had that condition for at least 10 or 12 years.  I wrote it off as just getting old for a while, then I asked my GP what he thought, if it could be something metabolic, and he told me I was just getting old as well.

Finally a couple of years ago I decided I just didn't feel right, the only way I could even maintain weight was by extreme calorie deficits and carb-depleting, which just isn't right.  I forced my GP to refer me to an endocrinologist who did a panel of blood work and figured out my issue pretty quickly.  I also talked to my family about it and it turns out both my mom and sister have battled it for years. 

So anyway, I got the metabolism started again but really struggled with exercise at my very high weight.  I asked the endocrinologist if there was something to be done, and he suggested the GLP-1.  I lost about 45 lbs on it, and then was able to exercise a lot more effectively so I ended the Wegovy.  I've still got another 15-20 lbs I'd like to lose but I'm doing it the old fashioned way.

I moved it. Originally Fearless posted the thing about measles in the apolitical thread, and I had a feeling that it would be very difficult to survive over there without getting political.

It was moved before Mdot replied, so no, he didn't post politically in the apolitical thread.

WTF.

I hate being like this because I know firsthand that people who criticize medical providers frequently don't know what they're talking about, and my GP-wife is always telling me how complicated things are that people don't understand.  But I did work at her clinic for some years and learned a few things.  Just to be safe, I just ran this scenario by her to get her take.

I have no idea what your GP was doing.  He/she certainly wasn't doing routine lab work like he/she should've been.  Hypothyroidism is usually caught by primary providers, before Endo ever gets involved.  Especially with the symptoms you were having.  But even without symptoms, a thyroid panel is usually done for annual checkups.  With your symptoms, that should've been Move #1 if for no other reason than to rule it out.
