Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hi all, I've lost about 20 lbs in the last month. People keep saying that I look horrible, which is somewhat discouraging. I'll admit that I enjoy the weight loss and eating what I want without too much worry. I enjoy the fact that my small clothes are way too big. I've always been slender, but I've also always worried about my weight. Also my weight has always fluctuated. I doubt that my " eat anything " phase will last. Is this normal with GD? These days I'm always hungry! I guess the thing is that I'm worried about weight gain. I'm worried that once I start meds or when my thyroid levels are stabilized, that I'll gain a lot of weight. Has that happened to anyone? I've been on meds before that have made me gain weight, and I always feel horrible when it happens. Does everyone else experience constant hunger? I'd just like to know what to expect once I start the meds. I don't really want any surprises. Another question: Is it possible for GD to be cured? I know that it's possible to become stable. A lady that I know told me that she was cured of GD. It's my understanding that this is something that we have to live with. Maybe she means that she is euthyroid? You'll have to forgive me...I'm still learning, and haven't yet finished all of my thyroid books. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
