I thought I'd do this on seperate post. I am very confused by my wieght!! my blood tests are just about always normal! only caught it out twice (in 15 years) and that has been high! I get most of the normal signs of of Graves, but my weight seems to go UP before it gets bad and I can't get it down! I have just noticed the pattern in the past week when I have given it long thought.
I have always blamed bad eating or over eating because my thyroid is over activeand can't be blamed. but I don't really over eat, and when I diet don't seem to lose anythingand i am sure people think I don't stick to it, but I do!(THEN I over eat out of frustration!)
I am waiting to see the specialist at hospital again (whenever I get to the top of the list) and will ask him about it, but has anyone else had this problem?:eek:

RE: wieght??
I just wondered if anyone else put wieght ON when Hyperthyroid? or is it just me?
RE: wieght??
Hi Piffy
Yes this has happened to me. I had my first flare up of Graves just before my 40th birthday and prior to this happening I put on loads of weight going up to nearly 10 stone which for me was unheard of. Then the symptoms of Graves kicked in and I lost weight. I am just going throuigh a second flare up and again this happened but not as bad. I think Iknew what the symptoms were and went to the doctors earlier.
Hope this helps.

Try to do some daily exercise routine. If it's still not working consult a cosmetic surgeon, they can help most especially to those weight conscious.
