Anyone suffer with an over active thyroid?

[Bernie]

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and OMG the symptoms i get are so up and down. One day i dont feel to bad and the next day i feel really tired and drained and generally crappy. My doctor has started me on some low dose meds which ive been on nearly a week now.I cant see a great improvement. I had a another blood test yesturday and seeing the doctor tonight to discuss how my thyroid levels are wheather i need a higher dose meds or not. I am seeing the thyriod specialist at the hospital in 2 weeks time coz my doctor wants me seen as soon as possable. I cant seem to sleep at night times and im feeling so tired during the day with a 2 and a 3 year old. 3 yeard old goes to nursery and i am a SAHM so dont have to worry about going to work. Please tell me im not alone

I have graves disease and been diagnosed after the birth of my son 5 yrs ago. First they thought it might be post birth hyperthyroid but nope when i went off meds i came back. It took while to get it on track and me feeling better so hang in there. They will get the dose right and you will begin to feel better.

Glad to know im not the only one. Went to see the specalist yesturday and im on my meds for the next 18 months. They will then tell me to stop them and see what happens. Thanks for your reply

your very welcome,

It really is a uphill battle to feel better but you will..just tell your doctor everything on how your feeling...I keep a journal to make sure that it is from this and not from maybe something else....

Im on 10 mg of tapazole not synthroid....i was on 5 and something else at the very beginning. Now im going for tests again because I was sick for several weeks and it may have thrown my thyroid off....feeling tired and weak and shaky and it feels like my thyroid...you can tell you know..


anyway keep me posted and good luck...I have had this a while so any questions you want to ask feel free...

btw I so love your avatar...lol
