[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 619724, member: 84"] Hmm. Hypothyroidism your metabolism is excessively slow due to the body not producing enough hormone. It tends to cause excessive weight gain or at best makes it very difficult to loss weight. Symptoms are constipation, fatigue, dryness of skin/hair, weight gain, flushing.....and several more I can't think of in my current exhausted state of mind. It doesn't mean you can't lost weight, it just means it is very hard to do so. Both versions of thyroid disease run amok in my family, which happens to be rare. My paternal grandmother died of complications of untreated hypothyroidism in her very early 50's. My bio dad and oldest brother both have hyperthyroidism, my dad nearly died twice before they finally just removed his thyroid gland. My sis in Indy has hypothyroidism. (yes, she like many in the family has a long line of dxes) And easy child has hypothyroidism. The hypo version is more a pain in the rear than serious these days, especially with treatment. You stay under the care of the endocrinologist, keep up on your blood work, take your medications and watch what you eat to avoid excessive weight gain and complications such as high blood pressure. easy child has been treated since Darrin was an infant. Irritates me that she flat out refuses to be treated by the specialist instead of her family doctor, when even he told her he didn't feel comfortable treating her for it. [/QUOTE]
