Default hypo from meds

Im back. Long story and quite frankly fed up. I went hyperthyroid sometime in 2011. Was down to 210lbs which is not ideal but tolerable. My hyper put me into Afib. Hospitalized twice over the next year. 3 Endos later, I am now somewhar keeping my Afib at bay. I am on methimazole, diltiazem and warfarin. My body is a piece of crap. The methimazole has put me into normal range on a standard thyroid test but I have gained nearly 40lbs and suffer from all hypo symptoms, fatigue, hair loss, cold intolerance etc. BUT if I don't take my current dose I go right back into Afib. Seems there is no end to the crap my body feels it must do. Endo says can't remove thyroid until Afib completely gone. Cardio says can't fix Afib completely until thyroidectmy. Seriously at a low point with all this. Anyone else have this experience?
