Hyper and Weight Gain - Looking for help

by bing888, Sep 28, 2008 01:00PM
3 years ago, I gained 45 lbs in 4 months, the doctor that I was going to at that time said I just needed to eat less and move more.  I keep food records for months - to which she would say you need to move more.  I was doing 30 to 40 mins a day and eating 1500 to 1800., nothing happen accept I gained another 15 lbs, final she checked the thyroid - it came back normal.

Eat less, move more.

I found another doctor, the first thing he did was give me an appetite suppressant, guess what - I did not lose any weight.

So, we did a few more tests - this time I came back as Hyperthyroid.  The doctor had no reasons as to why I would be gaining weight - I should be losing.

I have done research and found that about 10% do gain weight, but it is so rare I do not think anyone takes it seriously, and just continues to think you eat too much.

I wish I could find a doctor that understands just how frustrating this is.  I am taking medication (methimozole 10mg twice a day) for a year now.   As of date I have not lost a pound, I am following weight watchers and working out 45 mins a day.

If anyone knows of a treatment to combat the weight gain, please let me know, I now live in fear of gaining even more weight.
