Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Graves and at the moment I'm really struggling
Free T4 >100
Free T3 is 36.5, but was 46 when I was diagnosed
TSH undetected
My doctor was put me on 40mg Carbimazole per day for the thyroid and 120mg of Propranolol per day for my heart palpitations which are 40mg 3 times a day
I suffer from insomnia, heat intolerance, shaking, no energy, weakness and anxiety. I really feel as if I am losing the plot. Please someone tell me it will get better. I have been off my work for 2wks now and due to go back on Thursday, but I didn't think I can

Hi Katie, i had the same thing. It is awful, really awful but you will get better. It takes a few weeks for the carbimazole to work and i had awful side effects but keep with it. All your symptoms are classic so.just go with it and dont get stressed, it is frightening. I was on medication for 18 mths (i did block and replace 40 mg carb and 100mg levothyroxine, betablockers, bp meds, anxiety meds. I won't lie it was tough and i felt i would never be well. However it will all settle down.
I am really well now as are other friends who had it.
Try and sleep, dont get stressed it will get better. There is some great support on here. Xxx
