I have been to countless medical doctors and have tried different medications, vitamins, herbs, diets, but my hair still comes out by the handfuls every day, my weight is going up and up, my eyes are swollen and my ankles are long since buried. Has anyone gone through this mess and found a way out?

I would think your Dr. would put you on Synthroid for the thyroid

Take a stress test and find out if the stress is making you lose your hair. Some women lose their hair or nails when under a lot of stress. If not, have your scalp checked for any infection. For your weight problem, maybe check with an endocrinologist to find out if your thyroids are hyper or hypo (either fast or slow) because it can also be a cause for your weight problems. Altho farfetched or what, have your blood tested for any or all infections that could be caused by harmful chemicals or allergens, poisons, mercury poisoning, or even heavy lead in food or water. Good luck and maybe get a good detoxing diet.

Your docs should be able to do something about this, either by giving you thyroid supplements (if you are not producing enough thyroid), or giving you options about reducing your thyroid output (if you have too much).
Thyroid disease is something that can definitely be treated.

Go to an endocrine specialist.
