MUST READ!!! MAJOR questions about hyperthyroidism that need answering!
Posted , 6 users are following.
(6ft 19 yr old m. 60 kgs) Ok guys, just done blood test for hyper, have many of the symptoms (weight loss, anxiety, sore eyes, heart beats way to fast etc...) finally feel that I've found the reason for feeling so off the last few months, results won't be in for a week but i'm 99% sure I've got it as is my gp. I've some big questions about the condition that I'd realy apprecitate answering from people who have recieved treatment I've read alot online but it's left me quite confused.
1. I've always been quite thin but lately looking sickly, after I get meds can i expect to gain some much needed weight gain? I'm fed up of looking at my peers who are a healthy weight and shape! Although I eat well and excerise I look pale and skinny. Can I expect to hit the 75 kg mark. Barely hitting 60kg for my age and height is really not ideal, my self confidence is fairly low!
2. I know muscle tone is depleted, it explains why I've so little tone, can i expect more muscle tone or at least start to reap some rewards of a weight programme. Also is testorone set to increase once i've set for recovery?
3. After treatment can i expect to sleep less? Although I get restless during the night, once I fall alseep I could be conked out for over 10 or 11 hours! It's really effecting more college work and if treatment aids a healthier sleep routine it would be great!
4. Alcohol tolerence; This is an interesting one, I've read a little about the relation to alcohol tolerence and hyper' and it really applies to me, sometimes I could find myself throwing up after a few beers and its really awkward and embarassing I'm missing out on getting drunk like everyone else in college cos beer makes me so sick!
5: Stamina: I really feel I am so unfit for my level of excerise lately i'll be gasping for breath after indoor soccer where as I used to be the front runner in training. Will treatment help rectify this problem/
6: Mood: After treatment can i expect to feel less anxious and more relaxed feeling really crap lately.
So thats it i know I've rambled on but I'd love to hear some responses from people on life AFTER hyper' has been treated. Is the future brighter, and if so by how much?

IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN OFF THIS SITE FOR SO LONG
I THINK ONCE I DISCOVERED HOW TO MANAGE MY DISEASE
AND ONCE THE MEDS HAD TIME IN GET IN MY SYSTEM, MY BODY
STARTED TO COME BACK, MY MUSCLE TONE, MY WGT, STAMIA
WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPEN TO ME, I WAS DEVASTATED, MODIFIED
AT MY APPERANCE, EVERYONE WAS STARING AT ME, AND WONDERING
"WHAT THE HELL" IT STARTS OUT WITH ALL THE SYMPTONS THAT YOU DESCRIBE, AND THE WEBSITE DESCRIBES. IT WILL BE A LONG ROAD, BUT STAY WITH IT, ASK PLENTY QUESTIONS, GO TO THE WEBSITES AND LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE YOUR DOC WILL NOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING,SHE OR HE WILL BE SO BUSY TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT PASSAGE OF TREATMENT....I GOT THE "RAI" RADIO ACTIVE IDONE" IT IS A PILL, I ONLY GOT THIS AFTER OTHER TREATMENTS WERE GIVEN, SUCH AS MEDS TO SLOW DOWN MY HEART PALPATATIONS, EX-RAYS ETC..... I WAS SO HYPER, MY DOC HAD NO CHOICE NUT TO GIVE ME THE RAI, IT'S BASCIALLY RADIATIONS, BUT NOT THE RADIATIONS THAT IS GIVEN TO CANCER PATIENTS, IT'S NOT THAT STRONG, SO IF THAT IS OFFERED, DON'T BE SCARED, I WAS AT FIRST, BUT I READ ABOUT IT ALOT, THE WEBSITES ABOUT HYPERTHYROID WILL INLIGHTED YOU ABOUT ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND.....RELAX ONCE YOU GET YOUR MEDS, YOU SHOULD BFE FINE, I MEAN EVERYBODY DIFFERENT, ALSO ONCE YOU ARE ON LIKE SYNROID, IT WILL MAKE YOU "HYPO" SO U WILL START GAINING PLENTY WGT, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO EXCERSISE, AND EAT HEALTHY. YOUR MEDS WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE AS FAR AS THE DOSAGE, YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, AT LEAST I DO, YOUR CASE MAY BE DIFFERENT...WELL JOHN I HOPES THIS HELPS, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING OH AND LEARN HOW TO READ THE BLOOD TESTS....OK TALK TO YOU LATER
