What Causes Weight Gain And Fatigue Inspite Of Suffering From Thyroid Disorder?

THANK YOU! I had thyroid issues starting around 30 - but didn t know what was going on then and went untreated until around 35. The main symptoms that I had were fatigue (worked 2 jobs) and problems with my monthly periods. Now I am 57 - the dose has not been changed in years and taking .75 mil tablets....I have gained weight and need to lose about 40 lbs to be a normal weight - what would you suggest I talk to my doc about on my next visit in 2 weeks when they do a blood test? Thanks Debra Right now I do not get paid until Friday - I will have to submit payment at that time, or try to find some answers on my own. Thank you for your time. Bless you!

3.Take L-tyroxin
4.Follow Pevzner diet 8
Take care
