I have an as-yet undiagnosed version of hyperthyroid, meaning my thyroid is in overproduction for -some- reason!! I am seeing an endo for the first time later today so we'll see what he says. I don't think it's cushings, my symptoms are more keen on hashimoto's or just plain hyper, although I don't have the associated weight loss (hypers can actually gain weight as well, it's just less common).
