hi everyone,

i want to know if anybody has ever experienced something similar. About 8 months ago I started getting overall body twitches (never stopped since) with no other symptoms, I did a full blood check and everything was normal. My TSH levels were a little bit low but still borderline normal. Fast forward to now and my muscle twitches still present but sometimes slightly more aggressive. did bloodwork again and found that my TSH was almost non-existent (as well as slightly low vit d) and after a thyroid uptake and scan they diagnosed me with Graves’ disease. I started 5 mg of Tapazole/daily on Thursday. my concern is I don’t see the twitches getting better so far and I’ve also not seen a lot on google relating hyperthyroid with muscle twitching. you would think after almost a week of medication that the twitches would be getting better but they don’t seem to be getting better. I guess I just wanna know if anyone has ever experienced something like this because my mind is going straight to the worst and i havent been able to relax.
