Hi, you are suffering with weight gain , hair loss, and fatigue.
You have used methimazole, and now using spironolact, but all the time you have all the symptoms as it is.
It means that there is some thing else which is causing these symptoms. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. thank you.
