Hi i have been on meds for over 4 months now carbmizole
Startrd of 30mg a day .
Been reduced to 20mg last 3months. I still feel like my heart is fluctuating.
Somedays i dont want to move so lack of energy . Brain feels foggy and sometimes a little light headed.
I have had to go on the pill to regulate my period also.
And also have gained over 8kg.
Im 28 . I have 2 girls and i can barely keep up with them.
I work 4 days a week .
Does it ever get better ?
Currently diagnosed as hyper( relapse)
Currently under suspicion of graves disease. Really hoping i dont have it . See my endo in two weeks

Sorry to hear all this. Wth regard to the increase in weight. I wondered how much of this is due to the pill?
Mind my asking the ages of your girls? I ask because sometimes one can get hyperthyroidism associated with pregnany>
Have you informed your dr of all of this?
Take care

It could be the pill doing it but only been on that for a 1month.
Girls ages are 7 and 4
I had my first hyper about 3 years ago . But was treated wrong . Doctor only put me on carb. For two months and that was it . I stabilised. And there was no follow up .
I havnt yet spoke to my doc about weight gain
But see my endo on the 27th of this month

i feel horrible still, but better than in January. I lost loads of weight. It now fluctuates up and down by a stone!!!
Nothing I can do to change that.
i take recommended supplements, try to eat well , and avoid anything other than gentle exercise or I get a hyper attack.
i have Graves with acute T 3 toxicosis.
im working to get better but it's an uphill job.
dont let this take over your life, enjoy things even if just out of pure defiance...except don't OVERDO anything!!!!!
youre not alone X

I was wondering what T3 toxicosis is and how did you get it?
Have you got any thyroid nodules?
I hope that you feel better soon.

I feel tired/grumpy and aching somedays but never know whether that is just my demanding job and life or the hyperthyrodism. Dont wait for the appointment, I have always found consultant's secretaries very helpful and will always pass on messages.
Good luck

I seen the endo this week who confirmed i do have graves disease .
I thyroid was running a little under active so now been reduced to 10mg carb once a day .
I did start with 40mg first than dropped to 20mg now 10mg .
Sometimes i swear its just the demanding life of work kids and life in general.
But can never tell if its thyroid or just life .
