my gp hasnt put me on betablockers as i have mild asthma he said it could make it worrse usually my asthma isnt a problem, very mild and only use inhalers when have bad cold.
gp has checked over my chest and its clear so dont think it could be pneumonia or bronchitis
just really getting me down....cant sleep and the sleeping tabs dont help
thought i read somewhere that even mild asthma can be made worse by over active thyroid and will settle down again when its been treated and levels seettle down......have you heard or read about this ?
are there any otc cough meds i can buy benylin do one for night time, would i be ok to risk this just to get a good sleep ?
what are the supplements lynda ? can i get them from holland and barrett ?
selenium ?

i suppose it has not hurt either. I find taking blood levels and meds is the best way to stay ahead of this disease. It takes a bit of practice and CONSISTANCY. A journal helps me compare treatments & keep track of what helps me thru treatments and exercise.

itching is a major issue with this disease. Have u tried Benadryl or other anti histimines? Helped me a lot. The itching can drive anyone nuts.

njayne...thanks for your words I have iced water and my inhaler by my bed...thats all i can do....but i just cant sleep the inhaler seems to have no effect....just damn cough cough cough the water works for a while and im sleeping upright with loads of pillows......still cough cough cough Been on the meds for 12 days ,20mg for 8 days and since day 9 have been on 30mg carbimazole
I cough during the day too plus night.....if i do get sleep then the cough disturbs me and wakes me up.....even when i use the sleeping tab...only used those for 2 nights....dont think i will take any more
just want to feel better, can put up with the palpitations, sweats , funny eyes and weight loss etc....if only this cough would go
tempted to buy benilyn night cough med just to help....even though think youre not meant to have that if you have that if you are overactive thyroid
