Thyroid/weight/Europe

[scchris1]

3 years ago at age 40 my metabolism stopped. I was fit, and active, but all energy and ability to keep weight off left me.
I have all the signs of a slow thyroid except the thyroid test itself shows me in the "low normal range", therfore I can't get a doctor to treat me.
Does anyone know of a Doc in Europe or Mexico that can help...travel there is easy for me.
If that not possible, what meds should I take...I am 43, 6ft 250. Every diet I try allows me to lose 4 or 5 pounds...but thats it. Excersise does very little...and of course, my energy level is bad now. My diet/excersize program has been observed by a very professional trainer...
I would appreciate any help possible.

You need to get tested for reverse T-3. Your tests will come back normal if you have this problem, but you will show all the symptoms. You just need a better Doc. My wife is hypothyroid, so we've been through this.

You can mail me If youwant more info. The addy is in my profile.

Hope this helped.
