Is this normal for GD?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I just start Tapazole for six days for Hyperthyroid. My muscle is so weak that I have hard time to walk for about three weeks. Is it normal for Greaves' Desease? Or it could belong to some muscle issue?

if Acetyl-L-Camitine can in a way works like Tapazole, then I can take less Tapazole and add Acetyl-L-Camitine. Is this thinking right?

If on 30 mg daily, I would add 1,000 mg of Regular L-Carnitine and 1,000 mg of Acetyl-L-Carntine along with 200 mg of Selenium or eat 2 Brazil nuts instead a day and also take at least 1,000 mg of vitamin D3 to start. Try adding them one at a time starting at one capsule and increasing so you can tell how each makes you feel - better or worse. If worse, of course do not continue adding or even taking it. In my case, my results were not as high as yours, FT3 and FT4 were only mildly elevated compared to you but my TSH was 0 and stayed that way for 2 years on 10 mg of Methimazole until I added the Carnitines and finally on just Acetyl-L-Carntiine and 5 mg of Tapazole. My values improved so quickly that they went towards the hypo end of the normal scale and I had to discontinue the Acetyl-L-Carnitine and am on only 2.5 mg of Tapazole a day now with results in range at a good level. TSH of 1.06. So I don't have the experience of the real thyroid elevations as high as yours, but others have and they have also done well with supplements. One lady on a thyroid board went hypo just with supplements including as well as the above the herbs Bugleweed, Melissa and Motherwort. She did not take Methimazole. However, she did have a Naturopath who Skyped with her and guided her in taking the supplements and the amounts to take. She is now discontinuing the supplements by lowering them in the effort to normalize her results but she feels quite well.

Thank you so much for the useful information. I'll be cautious. I just want to be able to walk as normal again.
I used to do light excises and felt great. So I didn't bother to go to see a doctor. I believe I had some mild symptoms but I neglected it, and the light excises was just enough to handle it. Now after a physical work put me in an exhausted situation, all symptoms came out strongly and suddenly.
