Avatar f tn Too little TSH indicates you have hyperthyroidism or over active thyroid, producing too much thyroid hormone - common symptoms are weight loss, diarrhea, hand tremors, fatigue, depression, rapid heart rate, palpitations, anxiety, hair loss.
Avatar f tn my numbers are: TSH 2.3 (.40-4.00); Free T4 .73 (.70-1.8); Free T3 3.1 (2.3-5.0) My doses: Tirosint 50 mcg.; Cytomel 12 mcg/day My thyroid was destroyed roughly 8 years ago; the only problems I have is hair loss and weight gain - I don't overeat, I exercise - I don't eat processed foods - I could eat 1200 calories a day - good calories and put on weight. I grow most of what I eat. Help! I am 65.
Avatar n tn Hun, Get a different doc, you know, they are just ppl, and, as ppl, some are *sses, and some are not, Please have them do thyroid check!! Thyroid problems will cause depression, weight gain (or loss) as well as HAIR LOSS, i had a circular patch oh top of my head, and doc decided to check my thyroid, now i on synthroid, and hair grew back, emotions under control..
Avatar f tn Does everyone gain weight with Hashimotos and hypothyroid. It is so depressing. I am thinking on going on WW or Nutrisystem, but will I lose weight if my thyroid is still screwed up? I have low motility too when it comes to digestion too. Took the sitz test and an average person can poop out the beads in 2 days and it took 7 for me. What have other done? I am frustrated!
Avatar f tn The ultra vitamin has helped with energy and hair loss. My hair has grown back. I also take Thyroid complex and it helps with metabolism. Since I have been taking them I have lost 24 lbs. I still have a ways to go it just seems the last 16 lbs is harder to come off. If anyone is struggling with weight gain please give this a try.
Avatar n tn I have this and it can cause irregular periods, acne, hair loss, facial hair or excess body hair, bloating or weight gain, insulin resistance, infertility, ovarian cysts and hormonal imbalances. I have had this for many years and it is treatable once you are aware of it. First of all you need to be tested just to be sure. Ask your OBGYN to test you for this. You don't necessarily have to have all symptoms. I belong to soulcysters.com and its very helpful.
Avatar n tn However it does have other benefits for women with PCOS, including improving the likelihood of spontaneous ovulation, or making women who need clomid to help them ovulate more sensitive to clomid. Are your periods regular? What are your goals - weight loss? Pregnancy? If weight loss, a nutritionist might be helpful.
Avatar f tn 6 is normal but with symptoms, we would sometimes offer a trial of levothyroxine for this situation given the positive TPO antibody. The BCP only explains the high total T4. Weight loss will not automatically occur w/ thyroid medication, especially given that your thyroid levels are fairly normal to start with. Biotin (over the counter, 5000mcg) may help w/ the hair loss but any thing that is done for hair will take 2-3 months to not a difference.
Avatar f tn I am a 5' 2" 17 year old girl that has been experiencing unexplained weight loss for around 6 months. I weighed around 105lbs. at my heaviest and now currently weigh around 85lbs. I have an appetite and am consuming over 2,000 calories a day but cannot seem to gain an ounce. I also have progressive weakness and muscle fatigue and I feel cold all the time. My other symptoms include hair loss, salt craving/taste loss?, severe constipation, sleep disturbances, abdominal pain and nausea.
1565420 tn?1304572548 This is an old post, so you might want to start a new one. No, it doesn't cause thyroid problems, but all antidepressants can cause weight gain -- it's one of the most common side effects. What you're describing is a possible auto-immune disorder called Hashimoto's, but it sounds like the diagnosis isn't final yet.
Avatar n tn Yes, that is the correct test results. (TSH - 0.004; Thyroxine (T4) - 10.8; T3 Uptake - 28; Free Thyroxine ndex - 3.0) I will ask him about doing a FT-4 test. I thought most people that were hyper would see weight loss instead of weight gain??
Avatar f tn Weight gain is common after hysterectomy. Of course, your thyroid could also be a culprit. And your symptoms of hair loss, foggy head, inattentiveness, and memory loss could be signs that your ovary is "sputtering out" as a result of the hysterectomy. Post-hysterectomy ovarian failure happens about 40% of the time (sounds like your OB may not know this or may not want to admit it).
Avatar f tn You have hypOthyroidism, not hypERthyroidism. Hair loss and weight gain are due to hypo, not the meds. Too often, doctors UNDERmedicate their patients, so it looks like the drug causes hair loss and weight gain when continuing hypo is really the culprit. Your hair will grow back, and you will find it easier to lose weight once your thyroid levels are stabilized. Be sure your doctor is testing free T3 and free T4 inaddition to TSH.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone I am here to ask a question about eyebrow hair loss. In November I noticed my left eyebrow started to thin and eventually by mid December the hair from the left side of my eye to the middle of the eyebrow is gone it looks like someone shaved it off. I am 24 years old and this has never happened before I'm actually a really hairy person. I still have not had the hair grow back and it's only the left eyebrow so far.
Avatar n tn In the past year I have gained 60lbs and have been extremely exhausted. Once ( Neck Pain, Dry Skin, Hair Loss, Depression )more symptons began is when I contacted dr to have checkup.

Are any diet aids- pills safe to take without risking my heatlh. I excerise 3-4 days a week not sur ehow else to fix this disease.
Avatar f tn From what I understand, hair loss is a symptom of Graves’ disease or rather your thyroid being off... just as heart rate, nausea, hot flashes, lack of focus, etc. are symptoms. The medicine isn’t the reason for it. For example I had hair loss before I was diagnosed, when my thyroid was way off. Since I’ve been balanced my hair has been fine. I’ve been on the same meds and basically the same dose for 18 years and still have a full head of hair.
Avatar f tn fatigue, weakness, weight gain, trouble losing weight, sensitive to cold, muscle aching and cramps, constipation, depression, memory loss, odd menstrual periods.
