Hi all, I got told I have over active thyroid, beginning of July, was put on 40mg carbimolae and 80mg propranolol, spoke to the doctor yesterday and he said thyroid has corrected as it is now 15! Which is great, he also told me I have Graves' disease, could this be the reason why I still feel like rubbish, I am constatly tired, sweating and just no energy, in the beginning I was starting to feel myself again but these past two weeks have been a nightmare, I havecried constantly for a couple of days and I am at my wits end, no reason just real tears like someone has past away, I don't know what I want from this forum, maybe just some reassurance, I have the hospital at the end of August, thanks for reading.

But still feel the symptoms. Doctor said this was normal, guess time will tell. I have had 1 month of work and been signed of for another 3 wks! That sucks, but if I can't stay awake then i am not much good lol,
