Hi all, Im so glad to find somewhere to post where people understand whats happening to me!
I am 32, I was diagnosed 13 weeks ago with Graves Disease after going to the Dr with tremors in my legs, sweating, feeling sooooo hot all the time, anxiety and palpatations.
I am on carbimazole 40mg and Propananol 160mg and they just dont seem to be doing anything. I have had sore eyes for about a week now and a sore throat. I went back to the Dr today about this and he has arranged a full blood count re the sore throat and told me to bathe my eyes with water.
How long did most of you have to wait to see a difference in your symptoms? To be fair the tremors have gone but thats it and if anything I feel more anxious now than I did before!
Thanks Kate x

Your T4 is too high, but I don't know about the T3, my endo doesn't check that
Maybe someone else will be able to help.
Keep in touch.
Take care,

Yes I have been on medication for 13 weeks, my GP put me on 15mg and then I saw the endocrinologist and he put me on to 40mg, the plan was to reduce this to 20mg last month but as the symptoms are no better my GP decided to leave me on 40mg. He has written to the endo again as my next appt is in Feb 2012! and the GP wanted me seen again before then.
