"Is there nothing they can do for a bad thyroid....the meds don’t seem to help at all although she says if she stops taking them she gains weight...the math just doesn’t add up!"

Is she taking artificial or natural thyroid?? There are some people for whom the synthetic simply doesn't work. Switching to animal-derived (I think Armour) helps in some cases. Also, she may be lacking nutritional thyroid co-factors needed to get full benefit of the hormone.
