I started feeling like a different person around a year ago and started with some of the symptoms of being tired forgetful chest infection after tonsillitis and the same again weight gain a aching muscles. I went to Dr over and over to get antibiotics that did nothing. last Tuesday I had enough and I sat and poured my heat out to my Dr who sent me for blood test for over active thyroid. My husband did some research and I am nearly 100% that this is the reason to why I have been like a nackerd space cadet for the last year. Just hope the blood tests coming soon I get some help. I carnt believe that something like this can completely change a younger fit outgoing person into a recluse. Xxxxxxxx

Please post your test results when you get hem xx
would it not be an under active thyroid rather than over active if you are gaining weight?
Good luck, some people can actually gain weight, being hyperthyroidism, as they tend to eat more, or crave foods. X
