hey
I was born without a thyroid too im 19 yrs old..
When was the last time you had her levels checked? i know whenever my meds to low i start to gain weight like crazy...my appetite increases and I get all emotinal!! maybe thats all thats wrong! mentions those symptoms to her endocrinologist!
Maybe she should get her levels checked again because they can fluctuate, and she may need a higher dosage of Sythroid as she gets older. My doc told me that as I got older, I would probably need a higher dosage of sythroid. And he was right, I went from 50 to 75 to 88mcg. Usually people without enough thyroid hormone in their body will suffer from weight gain and depression. You should call her doctor.
