What Is The Treatment For Cyst On The Thyroid?

I am at a loss as to what to do. I have cysts and nodes on my thyroid, and I am on synthroid. My dose has changed four times in the last year and my TSH is on the low end of normal. For some reason, my T3 and T4 remain low. I absolutely cannot lose weight and I feel blah. I have been following weight watchers to the T for 3 weeks now and have worked out 21 days in a row for 30-90 minutes a day and I have not lost an ounce. How can I get my T3 and T4 up? What can I do?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hypothyroidism and your weight gain is due to hypothyroidism. You have to take tri iodothyronin or levothyroxin in high dosage to increase your T3 and T4 level. Once your thyroid hormones comes under control you will loose the weight.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
