Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have been on Thyroid medication since I was 22, and very much like you I have a compression fracture of my 7th rib and broken 6th rib. I fell and now have a shoulder replacement, two knee, and two hip replacements, and a double mastectory. I had a TVAR last year, but no weight loss with any of these. With all these replacement parts, you think I would have lost a few pounds.
Unfortunately, the Progablin added 10 more. The high blood pressure pills make me tired, as does the Progabolin so I just want to sleep all the time. I try to fight the sleep, but I am afraid it is a losing battle. Like you, I eat very little, but my body does not seem to get the message. I guess I just have to be greatful I am still here and quit complaining. If you find anything that works, please let me know.

Thanks very much for your reply. I can see that we definitely have some of the same frustrations when it comes to weight. In my situation, the Panhypopituitarism is the main reason that weight won’t budge. Doctors seem to know that so they try to avoid discussing the weight issue if at all possible. I saw my endocrinologist yesterday and she was most sympathetic but she didn’t seem to feel that there was any medication that could help very much.
