 I wish I could help. Honestly, MDs tend not to want to prescribe things to help w/ horomones unless they're off the charts. My advise is, go to a naturopathic DR and have them recommend some natural supplements. I am taking Thyrophin, a natural thyroid supplement, and it seems to be helping with the weight gain, so maybe there's something out there that will help you, too. Good Luck!
