I'm just curious what others experience as symptoms of hyperthyroid disease. My TSH was 0.03 upon a routine blood draw, and my physician sent me a note giving me that info and encouraging me to go to an endocrinologist (which took 2 months to get in!). I had no idea my thyroid was acting up, but was chalking up any symptoms I had to older age!

I have been through similar in fact stil going through this nightmare thanks to an endo who refuses to do a scan and biopsy on the multinodular goitre.
If it helps my TSH was 0.17 in May and 0.16 approx two weeks ago. The T4 is 16.5, TPOA are less than 33.
I am now back to square one as I am being referred to another endo surgeon. I found your posting very encouraging because you have stated that the treatment has got rid of your signs and symptoms.
Thank you and to other members on this website for giving me the courage to face another weary day of this horrific condition.
Kindest regards

In addition I was persspiring profusely at night and recall changing nightwear five times in one night. I also had severe headaches, throbbing pain in the right eye, dry eyes, concretions of the eye, a posterior vitreous detachmen.
The headaches and painful eye were attributed to co codamol which had been prescrined for a dislocated shoulder some months previously. I had only been taking half the dose 3 to 4 times a week.
In January 2014 I had peripheral neuropathy which is worsening with throbbing ankles and knees. My legs feel very heavy and the left ankle has been very swollen since last week.
I feel sure that these signs and symptoms are linked to thyroid disease.

Why does this horrible condition affect the muscles?
Does anyone know what the protocol is for the screening of a person with a multinodular goitre?
Thanks

Like you I had no idea my thyroid was on the blink. I have myasthenia gravis so chalked up any tiredness to that. I have been aware of numbness in a few toes and "googled" perpheral neuropathy but couldnt pin down why. Went to nurse at GP and she referred me for podiatry and bio mechanical assessment next month. That i thought was that. Then last week had a funny turn and ended up with a ride in an ambulance with sirens and blue lights and 3 delightful young paramedics. Very exiting. Heart rate 193 and BP 79/83,. After a period of VT my heart righted itself and after loads of blood tests my thyroid came back as over active.
Discharged and awaiting clinic letter and have beta blockers and carbimazole. Today wierdly my legs ache but fading now. Researching diets now and some research tends to suggest low carb diet good for hyperthyroid, anybody any ideas?
im new to all this and it seems ive a lot of learning to do.
