HI there! I just joined but have a few questions about hyperthyroidism? My first is I started Synthroid about 3 weeks ago and feel like all I have done is gain weight, is this normal? Will I eventually stabilize and start to lose the weight? My doctor had told me I should start to see it start to come of but I've gained a few pounds back. I'm also supposed to up my dose soon, will that help? I never had thyroid issues before and it was recently discovered. I'm just so confused by it all!

Any thyroid issues and dose changes will USUALLY (though not always) effect a number of things. I don't have a thyroid at all though. It may take time, but doctors will get levels figured out. It may be a little bit more of a challenge for thyroidism people to lose weight, but you CAN still do it. Just may take a little extra, at least from my experience! Good luck!0
