There are several books I can recommend...First the The Body Type Diet Book by Dr Abravanal. Second is The Carnitine Miracle (I do not know the author). Even if you are not hypothyroid, the eating philosophies and the physiologies behind them are very similar and have worked wonders for me. Also birth control pills can give untrue thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) levels. Do thyroid research (The Thyroid Source Book and any thyroid book by Mary Shomon or aboutthyroid on line) and keep pressuring your doc to assist you. The thyroid is something I have found to be extremely difficult for doctors to work with. Good luck.
