Hyperthyroidism what should I expect ?

Hi Nana ...  

you WILL NOT feel like that for the rest of your life .. I assure you .

my mother , sisters aunts  cousins and nieces  have  Thyroid diseases of one  sort or another.

Way back in the days .. most people didn’t even get a diagnosis .. and just lived with it 

Some in my family were never treated properly and became seriously ill with it .

I’ve  learned  that to become well again you must learn all you can about your condition .

At the moment ... do you actually know what you  have    ..   is it Graves’ disease ?

That is... HYPERThyroid  Disease ... with Antibodies  .....which means your immune system is attacking your otherwise healthy Thyroid Gland .

And if so you need to make your Immune System STOP attacking it   !!!!

You must have bloods taken to establish which it is you have

 first !

Then the Endocrinologist  will examine your results and advise you what to do.

For  example .....if you have Graves’ disease you will  likely be put on an antithyroid drug ..  Carbimazole or similar ..

That will , over a few months hopefully , lower the thyroid activity .. to normal and then you learn the way to keep it in that condition .. with the help of vitamins and minerals ... many of us here have done just that .. and become well again !

.... and you can too..

First get your blood results copied on paper at your surgery .. they are obliged to give these to you .. come back here and print them out in their entirety .. including all numbers in brackets those are your lab ranges .. and they show where you are on the scales ..

Then we can see what  your situation is and advise from there 

Please don’t give up hope ... I was very ill indeed when I started in this journey three years ago ... 

two years ago now i became normal again  ..  ie  in a Euthyroid state .. and I’m planning on staying that way .

Well explain later just how you can do that too ..

Good luck Luvvie at Endo appt.
