Hyperthyroidism

I have the same exact problem actually. As much as it sucks its comforting to know im not the only one. Ive talked to my endo and despite all my symptoms he still said that bc i have normal t4 and t3 levels that it is not caused by hypothyroidism, however i dont really believe it. We found cancer in my thryoid that should have actually been causing **hypERthyroidism** but my levels were still normal. Maybe have them do scans to make sure theres no nodules causing something weird with ur thyroid? Keep pushing for answers and dont let them tell you no, i wish you the best

Struggling with Weight After Endo Flare-Up, Need Help!

Several individuals have reported weight gain after starting levothyroxine. One person mentioned gaining 70 pounds despite eating healthily and exercising regularly. Another individual also reported continual weight gain since being put on levothyroxine. They suggested that the **body might be converting T4 to reverse T3 (rT3) instead of T3**, which could potentially cause weight gain.

Hi so sorry to hear you are struggling! I am definitely not an expert, but my doctor talked about parathyroid when I was diagnosed with hoshimotos disease/ **hyperthyroidism**. I think parathyroid generally doesn’t have as many symptoms as other thyroid issues. When I was sick and before I was on medication I experienced all kinds of weird and hard to deal with things. Things like dizziness, headaches, disorientation, lack of appetite, heart pounding, itching, trouble sleeping, and the list goes on. It was pretty rehabilitating until I went on medication to keep it in check. Have you had your blood drawn to have all the levels checked? I have to go every three months to have mine checked.

Seeking Advice on Hyperthyroidism vs Parathyroid

Not exactly. I have breast cancer and also 2 suspicious nodules on my thyroid that will be biopsied soon. My TSH levels are "low normal" leaning towards **hyperthyroidism**. I also wonder if it's all related.
