weight loss solutions anyone??? ENERGY??

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am new to this group and I am really glad there is a place

like this. I get extremely frustrated with my problems. Here's the

deal, I am a female and will be 27 in August, I have an underactive

thyroid, make that a MAJOR underactive problem normal levels are

like .5 mine are more like 112. My doctors have never been able to

regulate it. I had radiation therapy in April of 98' and quickly

went underactive I went from 105 ibs. to now 200ibs. I gained

roughly 10-15 pounds per week. I have a will be 4 year old in July

and an almost 7 year old When I was pregnant was the only time I

lost weight ironically it was easy to lose 40 ibs as soon as I had

my last baby only to gain it back after my levels went out of wack

again, I am drained drained drained. All I want to do is sleep.

This has affected my life considerably I feel like someone 2 times

my age. I am a daycare teacher I can barely keep up there chasing 2

year olds all day and them come home to cook clean and bathe for my

two kids. What I am trying to get at is, I have heard about the

thyroxine, thyax, and alvidar and researched to know that they are

safe to take, but I did not know if any of these were effective. (I

now the Thyrin ATC did nothing for me) I exercise and eat pretty

healthy also. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
