It does X it's a process, taking meds to suit, getting levels sorted. I know you feel awful, but give it time. Try not I panic, that makes it worse.
Keep a diary of symptoms, levels and meds.
work with this to get better xx

That's the question I have been asking, but so far no that's for my symptoms. I pray that you get better soon.

Hi Cheryl what medication are you on? Have the given you a beta blocker? I also wish they had put me on anxiety medication, it would have helped me. I had Graves' disease and was very poorly, but have now had nearly 2 years good health and feel normal again. Xxx

I'm waiting to be scheduled with a specialist. I hate taking meds. Actually it's more like a phobia. I was in the er with a thyroid storm when the doctor had to tell me let them give me meds or go home and tell the ones I love goodbye. So then I took them meds. I am on methimazole and atenolol. I'm feeling better than what I do two weeks ago but still tired

I was on block carbimazol and replace thyroxine with propananol for 18 months - my anxiety was horrendous and my bp was 180/150 so was put on bp medication and citalopram - the consultant really wanted to remove my thyroid but I didn't want to. I am now on citalopram 30 mg and low dose of bp medication with 10mg of propanol just for reassurance! X

It took 6 weeks for the meds to get me back to work. You have to get over your phobia - you are poorly and need all the medication they can give you. You will be absolutely exhausted so just rest and wait. I promise it will get better. I never thought it would and I can't tell you how happy and well I feel now - I appreciate it so much. Xxx

No matter how bad you feel right now
You will , given the correct meds, become much better and that dreadful feeling of being terrified will gradually subside and you will become normal again .. And all the other hellish symptoms you no doubt also have will start to disappear too ... And you will need the help of others less and less..and you will be able to care for your family , as before .
Have you been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism .. Or even Graves'
M ??X
disease ?

thyrpid antibodies to see exactly what you Do have ?
its a long time to wait feeling so poorly .
then you will have at least something to show the endocrinologist
when you meet .
then you could post on here and some great folk will decipher them
for you ...
luv mx🌹
