Constant bingeing and overeating due to Hyperthyroidism/Graves Disease. At my wit’s end 😔. Anyone else in the same boat?

Hi peeps, obviously not asking for medical advice but moreso sympathy and solidarity.

So a few months ago my thyroid went completely stupid and it has been a roller coaster of up-and-down since then trying to get my medication dosages right.

One of my biggest side-effects is having a constant compulsion to eat and this something that has stayed with me pretty much the whole time and I only got a small break when my meds were at the right dosage for a while. Although Hyperthyroidism does result in a higher metabolism, I’m definitely eating more than enough to compensate.

I’ve been on vacation from work for the last week and have two more weeks off and I almost wish I could go back now just so that I can stop sitting at home and eating constantly!

Thankfully I’ve only gained a few lbs Ahk I’ve my “normal” weight, but I really don’t want to gain anymore. I won’t have another blood test and dr appt til after New Years to be able to adjust my meds.

Anyways, that’s all. I just wanted to post here because I know you guys get it. Any tips would be appreciated!
