I was diagnoses two weeks ago with hypeerthyroidism after losing lots of weight, feeling like I had the flu, insomnia, heart palps and the worse thing, not being able to eat anything and yet having to get up every day at 7 and run a horse livery yard with no help. So mucking out every day, cleaning off horses, changing rugs, picking out mud packed feet and hosing down legs. Every day, seven days a week. No rest ever.
I have been on 20mg carbimazole and was starting to eat again. Weight loss halted, but still felt dreadful. Yesterday I got chest pains and diagnosed with angina. I can't tolerate beta blockers. Today I weighed myself and I've lost more weight and can't eat anything again. Now I feel like the carbimazole can't be working. Can anyone put my mind at rest?

hang in there.....it takes a few weeks for the carbimazole to kick in properly. I too lost a lot of weight, still havent managed to put any weight back on and that was 3 years ago (when I was diagnosed. You WILL begin to feel much better soon but unfortunately having to do so much work wont help as you really need to rest as much as possible and also try to avoid stress which is not easy.
Best wishes

thats the nature of this disease, you have to help yourself to feel as well as possible. Listen to your body, avoid symptom triggers like more than gentle exercise. Swimming lengths like I used to do makes my heart wallop and I feel sick and dizzy
Eat carefully, good nutrition is a must. Try advised supplements like selenium and B complex vitamins.
dont panic, you're not alone X
