I’m really glad you think it’s funny. “THYROID” right? Why don’t those lazy bitches just get up and exercise right? HA!
Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
Since I was diagnosed with Graves disease I’ve learnt so much about thyroid disease. Every case is individual and every symptom affects sufferers in different ways.
People might assume I have an underactive thyroid because I’m fat, but I’ve got an overactive thyroid. I didn’t lose a single kilogram before I was diagnosed, much to the surprise of many doctors. I did however suffer with heart palpitations, insomnia, debilitating anxiety (still do even though I’ve been on medication for over a month) and suicidal ideation.
Assumptions about other people’s bodies and “health” are fucked up. And none of anyone’s business.
Although weight loss is a common symptom of Hyperthyroidism, weight gain can also be one, caused by massive increase in appetite commonly found as a result of your whole body essentially being in overdrive all the time. Loads of people find this out the hard way when they take pills for Hypothyroidism as diet pills.
Holy shit I never knew this!
