nausea with an overactive thyroid.
Posted , 16 users are following.
Hi all
I`ve come to ask advice as last night I had severe nausea a few times during the night. I was retching but not actually sick! I`m pretty sure my thyroid levels have gone over- active at the moment as I`ve got the `old ` symptoms of hyper, sweating, hungry, needing the loo a lot. I`m taking carbimazole 15 mg a day but I`ve not had a good day yet since I was diagnosed over 3 months ago and put on carbimazole. I`ve got an appointment with my endo on the 10th Sept to discuss what`s next- but in the meantime do I need to be worried about this nausea?
Many thanks
Joy

I hate going to the doctors as I don`t think thay realise just how poorly our thyroid are making us, so I`m loath to go with anything else.
Anyhow, my endo appointment went well thanks, I`ve been recommended for RAI as the endo seems sure my Graves would return - and to be honest I`m relieved. As someone else said to me `I can`t be bothered to faff about with this anymore!` lol. I`m 63 and want my life back, not sit about and wait to see if things improve with the carbimazole!! I`m due treatment within the next 6 weeks, I signed the consent form, so I imagine I`ll just get a letter with the date and time and turn up?
How are you coping with your Graves David and what have you had done or are having done treatment wise? Whichever, hope you`re feeling well?

I get the feeling the Doctors don't really understand too. Mine isn't too bad but she's not there this week i've found out today, so i'm seeing someone else.
Well, that's good you've been offered the RAI - i've not officially been offered it yet. You should get a letter or phone call at some point shortly.
I'm struggling a bit after an initial improvement. Diet is a big concern for me as read lots of conflicting information. I can't get by on Cauliflower and Cabbage lol
I'm on Carbimazole at the moment. I'm not too far out of range and my technetium scan was ok. Back to GP tomorrow to discuss work, although as mentioned, different GP and also have bloods taken ready for Endo apptmnt next Thursday, so hopefully an improvement even though I do n't feel great.

When was yours diagnosed - mine was late May- and after 3 weeks of carbimazole, I felt much better. I hadn`t realized just how poorly I`d got. But then I swung underactive and I struggled badly being underactive. Yes I can`t imagine existing on cauliflower and cabbage lol, but I suppose our diets will all depend where we end up after treatment, whether we`re hyper or hypo?
Good luck with your Endo next Thursday, I hope they can suggest something so you feel better. It`s hard to explain but even though our levels are supposed to be `normal` we often still feel ill. I`m hoping the RAI puts and end to that!!
Let me know how you get on,
Joy

I felt better initially, but now feel terrible. Hope i've not gone Hypo. I had the sore throat and the urgent blood test back in June, but all was ok.
This is why people don't understand and I guess people can't unless they have been there. Hopefully RAI works for you and it comes through soon - let us know when it does!

Hello guys, I haven’t been diagnosed yet (my appoiment with the endo is next week) my hand a legs tremors sarted almost 3 months but they got worse after I got the flu. I went to the doctor one week ago and the doctor noticed that my thyroid was large. Besides the tremors I feel sick in general, my body weak, my muscles sore and nausea that comes and goes. To my family this is not a surprise since my mom , sister , some aunts and some cousins suffer from thyroids too. Please tell me I won’t feel this miserable for ever? My mom seems doing just fine. But reading some of your comments stating that medication doesn’t do a thing worries me. I’m 38 years old and sick sorry of feeling this way for be rest of my life 😪
