I am currently taking Armour to treat Thyroid disorder and my appetite is stronger than it has ever been. I want to eat constantly, am always thinking about food (because I am always hungry). My TSH was 1.3 and total T3/T4 were way under the range (drs didn't test free for some reason). I have never been this obsessed with food and it is driving me nuts - I have been trying to have lots of self control, but it is hard - have gained 3 pounds so far. Answer:No it shouldnt be because of T3..these hormones normally control appetite and keep the metabolism up. T3 and T4 effects your metabolism and may increase your appetite also. Hypothyroidism causes a loss of appetite, while hyperthyroidism an increase in appetite. Your blood test seem to be at odds with your symptoms, and you should have you free T3 and T4 tested. |
