A member asked:

I had my thyroid gland removed 20yrs ago. i take 175 mil of synthyroid. i am hungry all the time and get fatter and fatter. i have hypoparathyroidism.?

Hypothyroid : Would start with seeing physician and checking hormone levels t3, (liothyronine) t4, tsh. Determine status and adjust dose of medication if indicated. Hypoparathyroid would not induce weight gain.

No.: Your thyroid dose may be too low. These are common symptoms of hypothyroidism. Get your doctor to check it out.
