HELP. been on the same low dosage for underactive thyroid for over 5 years now. Each year I get tested 1-3 times and it always come back normal. The specialist is always telling me to cut out all kinds of stuff (which i haven't been using in the first place) but no one is listning. I am gaining weight by the second. I am frustrated and don't know how much more weight my body can handle. I am a very good and sort of strick eater so no worries there in the food consumption department. Please anyone, any suggestion(s) would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Colette

Sorry to hear of the ordeal you've been enduring. I'm wondering if you've had a thorough look at your thyroid functioning--TSH, T3,T4, thyroid antibodies, reverse T3, etc. If your practitioners are just looking at one reading, such as TSH, they could be missing some other indicators of dysfunction. Also, are you having other clinical/subjective symptoms of low thyroid (e.g., fatigue, cold intolerence, etc.) that would also suggest low thryoid? Of course, there could be other reasons to account for the frustrating weight gain--have your doctors explored these other possibilities? Finally, have you looked online for natural ways to support thryroid function, too? Sorry for all of the questions, but it would help to know a few more details. All my best to you! --Suzanne

Thank you for your response. The truth is I am so fed up I can't seem to think clearly. This morning I weighed and went from 170 in mid December to 180 lbs. I am going tonight to demand from my family physician to send me to another endocrinologist. The first one I saw a few times all he did was look through my blood work which always seems normal and then would ask me to eliminate a bunch of food items which I have already been doing but he of course was not listning. I can handle anything in life but not so much weight gain. Thanks for listning and please keep in touch. Very best regards, C.
