A member asked:
How will hashimoto's disease affect my life and my weight? will i be fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If caught in time: Hypothyroidism only affects weight when it is poorly treated because of not complying with instructions or has been ongoing for a long time before diagnosis(inital symptoms are very vague). Weight issues are over- attributed to thyroid dysfunction that it has become an urban legend.
