A year ago i was diagnosed with central hypothyroidism. This made SO much sense b/c ever since i was a little kid no matter what i do i can't lose weight. I've always had extremely dry skin and hair, and my mother was always concerned about how much sleep I needed. Then they started me on medication. My levels were too high so they lowered my medication twice before taking me off of it completely. They waited three months and tested me again. Now they are taking back the central hypothyroid diagnosis and saying i am now hyPERthyroid and could have graves disease. Yet i still have all the symptoms i did when i was hypo and cannot lose weight to save my life (short of starving myself completely and i know thats not healthy). My doctor completely ignores any symptoms i have other than a high heart rate (which was even higher when i was hypo) and my blood work. I just want to know what the crap is wrong with me!!

Hyperthyroid and can't lose weight?

I would suggest switching doctors. I am also hypothyroid and have always had the same weight and sleep problems that you do. It may be that you were put on too high of a dosage of medication and it actually reversed your thyroid levels. I suspect you really are hypothyroid and just haven't had the right dosage of synthroid prescribed to you. Get a second medical opinion and good luck.

Hyperthyroid and can't lose weight?

i think it is not your problem that cause you overweight. your doctor is right, they have to monitor your development and your heart rate. All doctors will do the same thing. But anyway, you should get tiredness if you are hyperthyrodism. So you should lost some weight.
