Weight gain w/hyper
How is is possible to gain weight while your diagnois with hyperthroidism? They have recently put me on PCL. Am I going to keep gaining? This just makes me sick. Thank you
Well, nice to meet you! I am the only person I had ever heard of who gained lots of weight with Graves. And yes, the anti-thyroid meds made me gain it faster. Luckily once you get your levels back to normal the weight just falls off of you. It did for me any way. I gained 70 lbs in no time and lost 50 in nothing flat after RAI.
Good luck it will all get better.

Before I was diagnosed as Hyper/Graves I lost loads of weight...aprt form it being fast weight loss & leaving my skin hanging I enjoyed the fact I could buy clothes 2 sizes smaller.
It was short lived, once diagnosed & on antithyroid I gained weight, now I am the biggest I have been n my life & hate it...but I cant change it...so have to accept it.
I hope one day my thyroid levels will get to a correct state where the weight falls off back to my original (pre unwell) state.
Its just aother part of having thyroid disease.
I do hope things improve for you, and I'm sure they will one day.

Some hypers will lose weight, some will gain.
Just like some hypos will gain weight, some will lose.
Its not a 100 percent law in which direction weight will go. Depends on how our system reacts.
Some of us have to work very hard maintaining and/or losing weight.
Could be worse. Like no arms or legs.
Its in the genes.
