Hi everyone, can any of you shed some light please!
First of all I don't know any of my blood results only that i have overactive thyroid! I do intend to get copies next time!
I have been on 10mg of Carbimazole and 45mg of propranalol for 4 weeks and feel no better at all!
Saw my doctor Friday who said it just takes time for your body to settle back down! I explained i have no life just sleep all the time! He has told me to come off propranalol and just use them when pulse races and i get palpitations!
I just don't feel very confident with what he said, i am having bloods done again at end of month!
Do you think he is right? Does it take time before you start to feel better? Am i being impatient?

In what way did yu start to improve after RAI?
I am feeling terrible with this hyperthyroidism and cannot wait for the RAI.
Are you taking any thyroxine etc..
Cindy.

Now I don't have palpitations and I am not panting all the time. But, my doctor has started me on low dose synthroid 75mcg and I know it's not enough and I don't feel good. It's a different bad than before. Now I am tired and feel depressed, etc. I am working through it, refusing it to get me down. I work out and it does help. I can't wait for blood work Thursday and I am gonna also ask for Amor thyroid instead of synthroid.

My name is Shelly and I am a nurse in the USA. I have Hashimoto's but I know both sides of the thyroid well enough.
Your doctor is right. The body is not fast in recovering. It takes time and in our fast paced world we want it now! i wish we had app's in our bodies and could set it to fix ourselves, but we don't and have to give it time to settle.
Propranalol is a heart drug and in some people a side effect is it can make you sleepy. Going off it may give you more energy. So if you feel your heart racing then you can take it as needed.
Hang in there and give your body some time to recover.
Regards,
Shelly
