Have any of you ever dealt with this? I don't know how I can be diagnosed with this and yet feel like the only human being on earth that has a hyper thyroid and not lose weight.

We got back from Vacation and I had a doctors appt, for a check up and I talked to him about my sweating and being hot enough to want to jump in an ice bath all the time, and I thought I needed my hormones tested, thinking I was perimenopausal, and he says no, not as long as I am still having a normal cycle.

I went back today for some other prodedures and he tells me that my blood work came back and my thyroid is messed up, and that would explain the heat, and sweating and nerves and such, but what about me not being able to lose weight.

I feel like screaming sometimes. If I am going to get an illness, (and I know this is going to sound horrible but I am deserate) why can't I get the 1 good benefit from it, which is to lose weight.

I have to go see the endrochonoligist (sp?) and get some tests run.
I also go in Wednesday night to do a sleep study to make sure I don't have sleep apnea. Which I am sure if I do, it's because of my weight.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone else has thyroid problems, and I guess honestly I was needed some sympathy and understanding.

I have been fighting this for way to long and have never been able to get them to do anything for me, and now it's this.

A little history, about 8 years ago, I quit my job because I had what they thought was a seizure but during the testing process to try to find out what happened, they diagnosed me with Graves disease but it wasn't bad enough to do anything about it at the time. So I was suppose to go in every 6 months and get my blood tested and for a while I did, but it was always okay so I quit going and haven't had any problems until now, so I guess the Graves disiease is rearing it's ugly head again, but I swear, I don't know how I can have something that one of the major systems is weight loss, yet now have lost a pound.

I have the high heart rate, I have the sweating and heat intolerence and fatigue, plus my moods are horribly wishy washy, so all that made me thing it was my hormones, since I have no weight loss.

Oh well, I'm just need to get this out. If you have read this far, then thank you for bearing with me.
