Hi there, I too have been suffering from hypothyroidism and have been taking Eltroxin 100mg but to no effect as i am gaining weight rapidly. Tried gym but in vain. I had a test done in Hamad but to my surprise i was told that i do not suffer from hypothyroidism at all. I guess its a matter of adjusting the dose. Should i come across a good doctor i will let u know. Meanwhile if u come acros a good doctor pls do let me know.
I know how tough it can be but it seems like you're not getting the right dose. In fact, the depression and the weight gain are 2 indicators of that. The first months are the worse as a good doctor will try different doses until you get the right one and in the meantime, yes, you gain weight plus other symptoms such as acute fatigue and chills. But when you finally get the right dose you should get back to a normal, functioning metabolism. Unfortunately doctors here in Qatar are not, by any chance, the best in the world and have little care for patients...that's why most expats seek medical treatments in their home countries ;-)
Pls check your inbox.
Perhaps your dose is wrong? Any doctor should be able to retest your thryroid hormone levels, but not all of them know exactly what to do. Try get a second opinion. It's difficult, but keep trying till you get your dosage right.
