Can Quitting Smoke Cause Change In TSH Level?
I am hungry all the time. I quit smoking about 6 months ago and it's even worse now. I am a non insulin dependent diabetic and also have hypothyroidism. s/p graves disease a few years back. My B12 level is 300 & I'm a bit anemic.
I'm waiting on my TSH level. I am wondering how much quitting smoking can alter TSH level. I'm also tired and gaining a bit of weight.sn

Hi. Why do you think so? Quitting smoking can not alter TSH levels. How can there be a history of grave's disease and now hypothyroidism? Have you gone through medical / surgical treatment for this? Diabetes if not controlled well can cause tiredness.
