    i have problems with my thyroid too. and i have gained a lot of weight also. i would talk to your doctor again, if you have been diagnosed with this thyroid problem he should have given something to you at that time. i know there is something that they can give you. mine is so bad that i have a hard time swallowing food. so my doctor is sending me to a throat specialist. you should ask your doctor to recommend a throat specialist and he's the one you should talk to. good luck honey

    Usually the problem is when general practitioners (family dr) try to treat a disorder such as this. You must go to an endocrinologist, ask your dr to refer you to a good one.

    You must be treated and monitored and until they give you enough thyroid hormone to raise your level to normal then you won't lose the weight.
