Thyroid disease is real. There are two variations of it, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Your thyroid is what produces hormones for your metabolism. Hyperthyroidism is when it produces too many hormones and you have a really fast metabolism. People who have that can eat all the time and not gain weight, but it is still really bad! The only cure for hyperthyroidism is having your thyroid taken out. The only problem with that is you will then have hypothyroidism. This is when you do not produce enough hormones, you have no energy, and you gain a lot of weight. There are pills for this, such as Synthroid and Armour that you need a perscription for. You know if you have thyroid disease from a simple blood test, but you should go to a few different doctors since whether or not you have it.

If you want more information, Mary Shomon has a book called "Living Well With Hypothyroidism", and there are many online resources. But be careful that you know what's true and what isn't.

Good luck!

thanks!! =)

Call me Molly. I'm seventeen, female, and I love shoujo anime. I'm also a Level 1 Moderator.

My categories:
love/sex
friends
religion

Or just general stuff. I'll try my best to answer anything.

Warning: I'm known to give sarcastic as hell answers. Sorry, I can't help it. If you have a question that I think is mind numbing and stupid, I'm going to be sarcastic. My hope is that you will realize that my negative opinion of you doesn't make you any less of a person, and you will apply this knowledge and grow up to be a well-adjusted, confident person. Rate me 1 if you wish, but please try not to take it too seriously when I do this.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ME HAPPY...all it takes is a comment when you rate me. I will smile a lot and like you more. Even if you call me a crossdressing stoner. =)
