Thyroids responsible for weight gain

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Thanks for pointing out this information about weight gain and seeing your

indocrinologist. I found some info on hypothyroidism, etc.

These are the symptoms of hypothyroidism:

Thyroid tests:

What is cortisol? In its normal function, cortisol helps us meet these

challenges by converting proteins into energy, releasing glycogen and

counteracting inflammation. For a short time, that's okay. But at sustained high

levels, cortisol gradually tears your body down.

Adrenal fatigue sometimes mistaken for hypothyroidism:

Unlike our ancestors, we live with constant stress. Instead of occasional, acute

demands followed by rest, we're constantly over-worked, under-nourished, exposed

to environmental toxins, worrying about others - with no let-up. Every

challenge to the mind and body creates a demand on the adrenal glands. And the

list of challenges is endless: lack of sleep, a demanding boss, the threat of

losing your job, financial pressures, personality conflicts, yo-yo dieting,

relationship turmoil, death or illness of a loved one, skipping meals, reliance

on stimulants like caffeine and carbs, digestive problems, over-exercise,

illness or infection, unresolved emotional issues from our past or present and

more. The result is adrenal glands that are constantly on high alert.

> Hi Lottie: I just wrote a note to , because I have had a

issue with the weight gain also, and then I saw your post. I have

Parathyroid Disease. I have a high calcium and low phosphorus all

the time,but I do not know if that would do the same as regular

thyroid. I think mine is just the Gleevec and Emotional Eating. I

am so frustrated with it. Suzzie

Thanks, Lottie. She physically felt my thyroid while I sipped water and said it

isn't enlarged but is borderline. Also, had a blood test for thyroid function.

Will report back about that when I get the results.
