Suggest Remedy For Weight Gain With Thyroid Problems
Over 30 years ago, I was told that my thyroid function was borderline By all accounts, it is still borderline. I do not tolerate hot climates. I have a heat condition. I am on the verge of insulin dependent diabetes. And I have gained almost 100 pounds in the last few years. How can I get any medical practitioner to re-visit this thyroid issue, when borderline is subjective.

HI...
Welcome to HCM..
Weight gain is indicativeof hypothyroidism but in hypo you have cold intolerance..
You need to go for thyroid profile for confirmation and if abnormal you need to use medicines for that..
Once you start taking medicines you can do regular exercise and follow a diet pattern (avoiding junk and oily foods) to lose weight..
Hope this information is helpful to you..Take care..
