Mounjaro and Hashimotos

[Wallacey]

Apologies if this has been done already, I searched and couldn’t find any threads so have started a new one.

I have Hashimoto’s disease and have done since 2015 when I started on thyroxine. I have consistently put on weight while all the while my blood tests came back as “normal”.

I am now the heaviest I have been out of pregnancy and am truly ashamed and disgusted about it. I don’t actually eat a lot but have now cut out gluten, dairy, alcohol and sugar. Apart from being bloody miserable I have lost around 10lb which I think was just inflammation and I am still considered obese 😔

Is anyone here suffering from Hashimotos and also taking Mounjaro? How has it going?
I am considering asking for a private prescription but am concerned about possible impact on my autoimmune disorder. Oh I also have psoriasis! Lucky me 🤦🏽‍♀️

I've come across your post while searching for the same information myself. How did you get on? Did you take mounjaro in the end?

I am in the same position, have Hashi's and the weight has piled on and it's negatively affecting everything I do, have be dieting since the beginning of the year and nothing is happening.

Sorry only just saw this, my post wasn’t very popular so I guess we don’t have a common problem?!

I am sorry you are suffering too. I managed to lose a stone and a half through dieting then started Mounjaro. In all honestly I am not sure if it is making a difference as I had got into a routine and weight loss after starting the jabs is no quicker, although I have gone from 13 stone 6 to 10 stone 2 so quite significant weight loss and I feel better. Still not back to my pre Hashimoto weight but few side effects apart from awful constipation! And nausea.

I managed to lose weight prior to the jabs by cutting out all the Hashimoto triggers - and there are a LOT, so I am sure this has had a lot to do with it as well. Gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol and sugar are the major ones.

Did you begin the jabs?
