thanks for the feedback.
Re the magic pill. I've been on it for 12 years. Until the last 2-3 years my weight was just a gradual 1-3 lbs which I can honestly contribute to life just too busy with kids and not enough for me. Lately I can jump 5-10 in a month.
My food intake is not perfect but I'm not a drinker, eat only whole grains, desserts aren't in the house etc. I'm the only person I know when I joined weight watchers and put on weight.
My Dr. is a general practitioner and still is under the assumption that tsh .5-5.0 is the normal even though I took published paper into show him in 2003 it was reduced to .3-3.0 for statistical norms. He wouldn't look at it. I'm at 3.4
I tried to tell him that ranges are just that and maybe I'm not in the normal range or maybe we should be basing it on how I'm feeling no just on the lab printout.
I asked about a T3 supplement and he said no. I asked about testing for adrenals and hormone imbalance and he said dosen't account for anything.

I'd changed Dr. but in Canada, dispite the many benefits of social medical care, there is a shortage of Dr. I went almost 6 months till this opening came up

I'm trying to get into an endo through a friend who works at the health center, as my Dr. says it's not thyroid, so won't refer me.

I'm also going to go to a nutritionist so when the dr. looks at my 204 and growing weight I can prove that I'm eating correctly so it's not the source.

Yes my Dr. is a *&^(^but it's all I got for now. I am interested in adding the T3 supplement as someone suggested. Did you get it through a health store or is it prescription. Any suggestions or warnings there.

Yes I always take my pill same time in the AM, empty stomach. My meds were only increased once in last 10 years. My weight has increased 45 lbs.
So I will have to back into see him I guess for my whole 15 minute timeslot
and force him to look at the documents....wait physically armwrestling him to the ground probably isn't the way although I could probably flatten the little runt without much trouble.

I did loose weight when I cycled but it was the 5-6 days per week, plus I biked absolutely everywhere that one summer including getting groceries.
My concern is I've had 7 surgeries in 10 years, I've been told I have osteo arthritus in one knee so I know I'm not going to beable to be that active and don't want to gain the weight at that rate....
