Need to find something that works

I have had Hashimoto's for about 8yrs.  Each year my meds increase, now Levoxly 125mcg. Something has changed, I can not get a pound off.  I have read that the meds themeselves cause the weight gain.  Does anyone out there no  of a natural way to keep my Hashimoto's in check.  I am desperate!  I am now conteplating getting the band.

HELP!

Or have you considered switching to Armour thyroid medication?  Some people seem to do much better on that.  I also have Hashimoto, and do immensely better on Armour than  Levothyroxine.

Have you tried keeping your TSH on the low side, close to hyper?
