Ever since i became anemic and my tsh went to 8 i have been super hungry, is that possible?

It depends,,: It depends on how your thyroid is doing. If your TSH is high due to hypothyroidism, then you need thyroid hormone replacement and the appetite is due to another reason like anemia or done other reason or a combination. However, if i the TSH is causing hyperthyroidism then this can explain the big appetite, but you still must see your dr. To find out why the TSH is high and get tests. Good luck.

Hypothyroidism : Hypothyroidism(low thyroid) generally doesnt cause increased appetite.. Anaemia can cause increased appetite.
