gAINING WEIGHT??

[skeeter42]

hey all, it has been a while since I posted but there really hasn't been alot of improvement on my behalf.  Still hurt in the lower back and legs.  They bumped my medicine up about 4 weeks ago but I'm gaining more weight.  It is not like I sit around and eat all day and my job involves a lot of walking.  Something is still not right.  Still very tired and just feel yucky.  Any ideas of what might be going on?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Brenda

Their your problem your not making T3 only T4 your doctor could give you cortisol with synthroid to help with your level. I use to take 137 mcg and I have no thyroid. I have since moved on to Armour I also get lower back pain I associate with adrenal gland issues. You will need to have a FT3 & FT4 test to see were your at and how much T3 is getting to each cell. Also, Iodoral is good for you and helps with weight loss do some research on it and you will know what you need.

Thanks Cheryl!!  I just keep praying things will get better.  Just can't understand the weight gain since my synthroid has been bumped up to 137mcg.  

Tired of being tired and tired of getting fat!!!!!!
