A member asked:

Tsh lvl cameback elevated dr.said maybe hypothyroid but i'm underweight &having hard time gaining weight. is it possible 2have hypo and above issues?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some people with hypothyroidism have a low appetite, and just seem to never get around to eating. One other thing you might discuss with your doctor is if you could have both a thyroid and adrenal problem.
