Oregon girl!
You don't have a journal...so how do we know you're a mess or not a mess!
I started gaining weight and there was a problem there, my GYN saw a lump in my throat. It went from there..long process..but I started out on synthroid. My family doctor said the weight would melt off me with the meds......boy was she wrong! Went to Endo..he put me on Armour ...after much reading..I think it was the right choice. I would be happy to talk with you about the thyroid.
