I too am fighting with my thyroid. I have had problems since 1991 when my 2nd son was born preemie due to my appendix rupturing. The dr's think the toxins in the ruptured appendix attacked my thyroid and burn it out. Lately I've been having problems with my TSH levels being out of whack and the dr is having a heck of a time getting it regulated. It didn't help that I went to a mediclinic and they screwed up my prescription and I ended up getting half what I should have been getting. I argued with him, but dr knows best so I went wiht it until I got sicker.

But enough of my problems. I have found a new dr and she is great. She is sending me to a nutritionist at our nearby hospital to hopefully gain some insight in how to lose the weight and make it work with a sluggish thyroid and PCOS.

Hope you find what works for you. Have they done further testing on your thyroid to make sure that's all that's wrong?

Two years ago after I started struggling with my PT tests and my CApt pointed out that I gained 30 pounds we discovered my thyroid decided to stop working without telling me, haha. My tsh levels were 452. Which I hear is pretty much insane. well we havent gotten the meds right yet, I am currently taking 175 mcg a day but I am the best at taking them every day and miss like 5 a month. My TSH levels are now at 380. they have gone up and down this whole time, but I have also gained some weight back, *I had lost 25* This is a really stressful situation and I just wondered if anyone else struggled with it. Its like, I didnt do the slacking to gain the weight and now I have to do something to lose it!!!!!
