Is Hyperthyroidism Good for Underweight Individuals?

Linda, a 25-year-old youtuber from Sydney, Australia suffered from Graves’ disease.
At a period of time, she was getting sick so often that she visited the doctors to find out the reason. The doctor noticed that her neck area was abnormally thick and sent her for an ultrasound and a nuclear testing to test the hormone level in her thyroid. After getting the results, she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in August 2010. Since then, she has been taking medication every day and has to seek medical consultation from a specialist.

This disease has affected her entire life. She has to watch what she ate or she can gain weight easily. It also affects her mental well-being as she suffers from stress and anxiety issues. Now, she is seeking help by learning how to manage her coping mechanisms.

Before she had this disease, she was underweight. Now, she has gained between 7 to 9 kg and is of an average weight according to body mass index (BMI).  However, her weight is currently still unstable at the moment and is on medication.

To affected individuals like her, it is something very hard to cope with and is something that she has to embrace over time. From her experiences, it is important for loved ones to be there to give emotional support, especially during difficult times like this.

    1. My HSV2 Journey, A Natural Healing Success

      I was diagnosed with HSV2 14 years ago, and honestly, it was pretty overwhelming at first. I got some info about tablets to help manage the outbreaks, but i was on a mission to find a natural remedy. As someone who loves hitting the gym and navigating the usual life stresses, I was facing outbreaks almost every month that could last for weeks.
      I tried just about everything. Tea tree oil? Ouch, that stuff stung like crazy. Lysine? Sometimes it helped, but I had to take over 6000 mg daily, which just left me exhausted. Hot baths didn’t do anything for me either. I noticed that smoking and drinking seemed to trigger outbreaks, so I decided to cut those out since they weren’t doing my health any favors in my mid-30s.
      Even regular exercise would lead to more outbreaks, and let’s not even talk about manscaping, definitely a no go. On top of all that, my mood was sinking, and I was feeling pretty down. My sex life was non existent, and I just wanted to feel like myself again. I wasn't a fan of prescription meds, and I was avoiding doctors because, you know, manly reasons. But I finally thought, why not?
      After reading some great reviews online about Dr Utu Herbal Cure
      , I decided to give it a shot. I reached out through his email at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com and ordered the Herpes Herbal Cleanser. I received the herbal cleanser through DHL and committed to a four week treatment plan.
      Fast forward to when I got my blood tested, it came back negative for HSV2! I even went to another hospital for a second test, and once again, NEGATIVE! This was a total game changer for my health, and I can’t believe how quickly 13+ years of depression lifted.
      Feeling like myself again has been truly incredible!
