My mom is a doctor and she suspects i might have a thyroid gland disorder. But with school and other things going on, we still haven’t had the chance to go to the hospital and get tested. So, im just wondering whether im just fat (altough i don’t know why since i exercise a lot and don’t really eat that much) or is it possible that the weight gain isn’t my fault and could be an effect of the thyroid gland disorder? ( Plz help…

I went to the doctor to get my thyroid checked as I have many symtoms that lead that way. I am tired all the time, sluggish in the afternoon, sufficient hair loss, weight gain, and I am cold all the time. Could there be a possibility that the test was wrong?

For many years I have had extreme problems due to my hypothyroidism. I have dark course hair on my face, stomach, back, buttock, and legs(I am female so this is not normal.) I also get hot flashes, overactive sweating, extreme weight loss and weight gain. I have been on Synthroid medication int he past and this hasn’t helped wtih any of these things. Would a thyroidectomy solve these problems for me?

I had the Flu last Novemember and have had chronic fatigue since. I have had two blood tests that point to Hypothyrodism. I haven’t started on meds for it yet because I have also developed serious allergies/allergy-related asthma and I am trying to get that under control first (also started after the flu and thought the chest pain was fatigue related and only after 9mos of complaining, my doctor finally got a clue). I have not had any weight gain so far but I’ve been told that it happens if the problems with the thyroid go undiagnoised long enough. My only concern about this is because a few of the women in my family have been over weight and it has been such a struggle for them for so many years. I am already struggling with debiltating fatigue and allergies I’m not sure I want to add trying to loose weight to the mix either. What has your experience with hypothyroidism and wieght gain/trying to loose the weight been? Any advice?
