Brief Answer:
TSH value??

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am a general physician. I have been associated with department of endocrinology for few years now. Since your query has been pending for sometime, I shall take this opportunity to answer on their behalf. Please also note, that I have taken curbside consultation with XXXXXXX endocrinologist before answering your question.

I understand your concern that you are adding weight despite being on thyroid supplement (thyronorm). There could be couple of reasons for weight increment
1. The dose may not be adequate. - Have you checked TSH value recently? If yes, when and what was TSH value?
2. If recent TSH value is adequate, perhaps weight increment may not be related to hypothyroidism. Other possibilities including changes in diet / life style should be considered.

Please get back to me with details about TSH and we can continue this discussion further.
