    Could it be something else
    Hi,
    Well I'm writing on here to find out some more information.
    I've been going to a doctor for almost 2 years now about my thyroid.
    The doctor thinks I have Hashimotos and I have been on medication for it (thyroxine 100mg) but I don't think it is doing any good.
    The reason why I went to the doctor in the first place was because I had some facial hair growing on my throat (under cheeks sort of place). And weight gain and the doctor put me on medication and then later said that my thyroid problem is not causing the hair. But after 2 years my weight has not gone down at all and I was eating right and exercising and still my weight went up. And then the doctor has put me on metformin because I could have cysts on my overies and this has just made me feel sick and vomit.

    I am 19 and my weight has hit 105kgs and OMG I am so sad about it I feel sick with myself and I need help. I don't know what to do.
    I just feel like it has to be something else, I just don't feel right.

    My symptoms:

    * Serious weight gain
    * Goiter (getting bigger)
    * Feeling down and depressed
    * Mood swings
    * Feeling tired a lot
    * Feeling Hot (really hot body temperature)
    * Going to the toilet a lot (number 1)
    * Feeling like something is just not right (I can feel it in my mind and body I know it sounds weird but I do)

    Please help me!! :(:(:(:confused:

    Get another doctor's opinion, a specialist.
    If this doctor is one, find another anyway.
    I know someone who was actually hallucinating while hyperthyroid, had other symptoms, went to many clinics, but wasn't correctly diagnosed until she saw an endocrinologist. I know you say your thyroid is in range, so it's just an example of needing that specialist. And of course whenever any part of your chemistry is out of whack you will have mood swings and feel almost crazy, not to mention side effects of drugs.
    Some of your symptoms sound like diabetes but that is very easy to test of course, and it could be related to your endocrine problems.
