Re: Thyroid Hormone and Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

when I had a thyroid storm, hyper storm whatever, I gained a lot of weight in 5

days!

Re: Thyroid Hormone and Weight Loss

not all hyper people lose weight. that is purely false. Usually the people

who lose the weight are young people who come down with Graves Disease. It's

not always the case for us 'older' folks. The disease tends to make us gain,

hyper or not. I was one of many.

i would think it would..because you'd be hyper...and that's a symptom of

hyper.

Then apparently I misread the original post as I'm sure others could

have too. Just consider it a tidbit of info to ignore if you've never

had a bout with hyper where people assume you can't possibly be

because you gained instead of lost weight.
