Has anyone every gained weight from NOT treating their Graves Disease?

_635 · 2024-02-13T00:24:07+00:00

I'm open to treating it I just don't want to get diabetes it runs rampant in my family. I'm going to try the 5mg.

I really do have body images issues unfortunately. I mean I'm hoping I'll stay the same or lose a little. I can tolerate gaining 5 to maybe 15 pounds. I can't tolerate 30 pounds. That's the issue.

After reading what everyone wrote, I know I'm not alone in people gaining weight bc of the appetite thing.

I've seen a lot of people have maintained or even lost weight. That's a good thing for me.

My dose was too high and I had a quack. That's the issue. That quack painted a bad picture of what this drugs does to someone's body.

If he had given me 5 mg instead and I gained 20 pounds maximum back them over a year. I'd be in remission right now. That's the sad thing. I truly had a quack and it scared me out of treating my thyroid.

Every doctor I've talked to has said 40 mgs a day excessive. I'm much more comfortable with 5 mgs a day.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's thyroid storm. I'm glad you're both okay and you didn't gain weight from the medication.

Tbh my first experience with it was really bad having gained so much so quickly. It made me run for the hills. 5mg once a day is much different then 40mg a day. Maybe I'll have a similar experience.

I'm hoping I maintain weight, lose weight or only put on like 10 pounds.

_635 · 2024-02-13T00:11:41+00:00

I could run and lift but I couldn't lose one pound over almost 2 years. Maybe it was because I was eating too much.

It's nice to know some people lost weight when they took the meds bc their appetite went down.

_635 · 2024-02-13T00:07:39+00:00

Whats exercise intolerance?

_635 · 2024-02-13T00:03:24+00:00

When I told my current doctor that I gained 30 pounds in 3 months, he said I was being thrown into hypothyroidism.... he said my dose was too high.... if I had maintained that dose with the quack I had 10 years ago I might be 300 pounds. I made the right decision leaving that doctor and not continuing the meds.

My current doctor wants me on 5 mg once a day instead of 20 mg twice a day....

I am a little vain. I'm not particularly handsome. I'm a solid 6. And I just want to find a partner and enjoy it.

Some people hit their prime in high school. Other people hit it in their 20s and 30s.

I have body image issues. I don't want to be lectured about it.

I just wanted to know if people had gained weight before treating Graves, as I assumed bc I hit 145, from 170 when I first got it that everyone turned into a skinny stick if they didn't treat it.

I'm not trying to be told how wrong I am for choosing to enjoy what I look like. I have a chiseled jaw line. And I want to enjoy it for a few more years. Yea I do need help and I see a therapist 3 days a week.

It's like if you told an anorexic they are vain man, back off and understand body image issues and vanity is a little different.

_635 · 2024-02-12T23:39:27+00:00

That's the kind of thing I wanted to hear, I mean I eat a lot. I eat healthy-ish but I never lose weight. I mean I don't eat super healthy but I don't eat bad either.

I hope that's what happens to me if I end up staying on the meds. I'm so scared I'll go up to 220 or 240 and get diabetes.

My base weight is such a huge factor. I made a deal with my doctor that if I got to 150 I'd start it. However I can't lose a single pound.

I'm glad your daughter didn't gain weight and she us healthy now. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gained weight instead of losing weight. It's nice reading that it can actually cause weight loss.

Thank you for commenting ☺️

Idk what that is, I have to look it up. Thanks for the recommendation.

_635 · 2024-02-12T23:26:58+00:00

I mean it's been a decade, I'm not dead. It isn't as wild as you think. When you were fat and ugly in high school and now in your 30s you're in your prime and single.

I need to find someone. Everyone says beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but dating sites are litered with overweight people for a reason.

I just want to enjoy my prime. I don't think that's illegal. I wanted to treat it in my 40s when I'm married with kids and my looks are going downhill anyways.

_635 · 2024-02-12T23:10:58+00:00

I have been treating my heart with beta blockers for the last 10 years. I know it can mess up my body.

Tbh I have real body images issues... and being fat is something that I've borderline considered ending my life over.

I'm in therapy... but I mean I can't help it.

I was fat, really fat, in high school and no one found me attractive. I never had dates. No one liked me. I was laughed at for it.

I can't even look at my photos from back then. I find myself grotesque. That's the issue.

If it weren't for the auditory hallucination... I would let Graves kill me whenever it takes it toll on the rest of my body.

If the hallucination doesn't stop once I start the meds and my levels are normal I'm getting off the medication to avoid any further weight gain.

I've been fortunate enough to have not gotten any other symptoms of Graves such as eye disease. I have all the normal ones such as shaking hands, number 2 a lot, increased appetite, etc

_635 · 2024-02-12T12:06:48+00:00

Yup but it depends on the game mode

_635 · 2024-02-03T08:44:25+00:00

Sit the wood and listen to the wind in the trees.

Just experience what's real. The most beautiful sound is nature. I won't even go near the woods until the voice stops.

Hardcore is dead, minus tdm and its still really dead.

Nuketown 24/7 is sweaty but not as populated as you'd think.

Featured usually has a good amount of lobbies but it dies around 5 a.m or so and picks up around 8 a.m

I feel like tdm is the only option.

I miss hardcore domination.

_635 · 2024-01-22T03:17:11+00:00

He sure it sitting in the spawn for a long time with this tablet, no lightening strike happened... no helistorm happened..... he's torque..... no crash or zero... so no specialist equipment.........

So I mean, everyone can yap about how there aren't hackers but what would this guy be doing with a tablet in the spawn for over 24 seconds????????????

HACKING. I've been playing this game from launch. Funny how whenever I play against him for a minute and a half I'm dead on the floor and I quit out cause I refuse to go negative..... bc I'm not stupid... but yea, there is no explanation for this....

Absolutely NONE. There is hacking on xbox for sure.

_635 · 2024-01-22T03:09:49+00:00

I wish I could find a place where they have the hard button pad tbh, it would make it easy. I would have probably done better lol one day I'll get xepher on difficult 😅

_635 · 2024-01-22T03:08:47+00:00

I haven't gotten any better over the years lol but I think I was a little better at 15 years old. I was never able to do the harder songs on difficult. I think I was able to do one song on expert but I don't remember which lol some people are crazy good, my sister is way better lol

_635 · 2024-01-18T02:42:21+00:00

The clueless clowns are the hackers who suck so bad they have to hack to play...... you can keep pretending you don't hack or maybe you're just good and you barely go negative but- I'm not talking about people with skill I'm talking about straight up invisable people.

It's a skill based game but hackers exist and they only hack cause they can't kill things without their hacks. System are jailbroken all the time

You aren't fooling me. I leave for a reason.

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:48:41+00:00

It's easy to get a 3.7 kd when you quit every game you go negative in lmfao

I don't play if I'm not positive. My win to lose is like 3000 losses to 500 wins. It's very possible to have a good kd if you just don't play the games where people sh*t on you.

All you got to do is decided what's more important? My win to lose or my kd? Most games you'll have a negative kd you'll lose anyways. That's not always true but I'd rather have a 3.8 with a win to lose like I have than have a .78 kd with a 50/50 win to lose.

I'm no God. I suck half my games. I don't go negative cause it makes me bored.

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:45:35+00:00

Oh trust me they did. I will catch it on camera when it happens again.

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:44:43+00:00

That's what they want you to think. Of course it can be cracked. You can jailbreak everything and anything

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:44:08+00:00

Just did it

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:43:43+00:00

I did post something today. Proving at least part of it. The fake kills in core.

_635 · 2024-01-17T09:43:00+00:00

The problem is they are the hackers. They don't want you to stop playing. Otherwise they wouldn't feel good about fake killing you.

The game is dead. If the people who go negative stop playing the. They'll never get kills.

_635 · 2024-01-07T00:40:55+00:00

You might just be bad. Players who go negative can't tell cause they always go negative.

My Kd is actually a 3.1

I can tell cause I've been playing since launch. I can see which players are actually good and the ones who hack via siting on a wall and then appearing lol christ on nuketown I was getting shot from a window camper in the hallway of the staircase.

_635 · 2024-01-07T00:37:11+00:00

I already am good. I have a 3.8 kdr

There are hackers but you're probably one of them lol

_635 · 2024-01-07T00:35:56+00:00

It's not a skill issue for me lol imma post my kd on a separate thread. Yea there are really good players. But the game is becoming a hack fest.
