And it's now a fact that ever since I've been put on levo I have gained weight every week!! Is that normal? I never gain weight every week and I have been dieting for years even with a dodgy thyroid? I'm stopping the levo I truly believe it's that now. I've even taking alli and still not losing I'm again crying it's horrible I'm now 16 stone.

I put on a total of two and a half stone with Levo, I have never been able to shift that extra weight. I exercise and eat a healthy diet, but the weight stays on.

If your dose is too low, you will get worse than you were before you got the meds. Why not try and heal yourself, rather than take meds?

How did I heal myself.. if it's through nature thyroid then I can't as I don't have enough money

i mean heal yourself, through diet and put hashi's into remission. Heal the immune system. Please google Dr. Isabella Wentz and Mark Hyman Md, on reversing autoimmune disease and hashi's too. Many times diet changes will stop this.
