Cover your ears...I'm about to holler....OK, ready?

GET TO AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST!!!!!!

I have had thyroid problems for years, and now my daughter has them. There are autoimmune thyroid diseases, like Graves and Hashimoto's, and it's likely you have one of them, because they often go along with MG. In my experience, a GP doesn't know very much about thyroid issues. Just today, my endo was telling me that everything my daughter's doctor said about her lab results was wrong. He said a TSH and a T4 test isn't enough--she needs a special kind of T4 test, etc.

Also, just because your numbers are in the normal range doesn't mean your thyroid is functioning properly. "Normal" is different for different people, and one thyroid test might come out normal, while a more sensitive one reveals problems. It's complicated stuff, and you need an endocrinologist--preferably one who specializes in thyroid problems and not just diabetes. If you are being treated properly, your thyroid shouldn't be low.

Losing weight with MG is hard enough without adding hypothyroidism to the mix! Hypothyroidism is treatable. I wish you the best of luck. I lost 50 pounds two years ago, and the only way I've found I can keep it off is by counting my calories.
