A member asked:

Losing weight as a result of graves' disease, i do love it as i've lost 3 stone dramatically, however im scared i'll look anorexic, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it controlled: Hyperthyroidism can cause serious, permanent and dangerous side effects. Go see your endocrinologist and get it under control. Good luck.
