I’m chronically hungry because of the disorder and think it was caught early. Start meds on Friday.

I was diagnosed with graves disease at 24. I was also hungry and couldn't keep enough calories in. What meds are you starting? I remember being put on propanolol a blood pressure med to keep my heart from beating too fast. Then I had the radio iodine and radiation. I't definitely messes up your mood and anxiety because your whole metabolic rate is high. I couldn't sleep much either. Hope you get good treatment with your doctors.
