Thread: Thyroid and weight gain?

Yeah, my doctor reckons my fatigue and depression is due to a malfunctioning thyroid.

I'm also pretty overweight, is that to do with the thyroid too?

yeah, im overweight because of a slow thyroid too. It also makes me feel tired and moody. IM ALWAYS tired and once in awhile moody. Jst make an appointment with a doctor and get some thyroid medication. It will take awhile but eventually it will work. It can be expensive tho, depending n what kind you get which is why im not on it right now. hope i helped!

Yes it would be a contributing factor.

Well the thyroid controls your metabloism so yes. Ask your doctor for clenbutral (sp?) and another med that goes with that cycle. They are made to help thyroid issues and you will lose a lot of weight easy.

Could be. Your doctor needs to do a TSH level test for you.

Some signs of Thyroid problems are weight gain and fatigue but it could be a lot of things also.

If it is a Thyroid problem you should see an Endo and be prescribed meds.
