hi there I've had a overactive thyroid for over 2 years. My symptoms were hot flushes, shakes, weightless and general hyperactivity. Since being treated for this I feel that I've never actually had that moment we're I thought I feel better. It's been a constant battle with the meds, I've never really been stable. However over the last couple of months I feel that my symptoms have completely changed I'm cold all the time I'm gaining weight and the tie redness I feel on a daily basis is unbareable. I recently had my bloods done and I'm overactive at the moment, the doctor has advised me to take the same dosage and exercise for fatigue! I really feel as if no one understands I'm 26 I'm a full time mum studying and I can't cope with these urges to constantly sleep anymore it's making me depressed. Does anyone else feel like this or have some advice for me please because right now I'm desperate.
