Good Morning,
Well, I am surprised with the news I received yesterday. I had labs done and the endo told me that I am now borderline hyPO, after being hyPER for the last several months. I am no longer taking the methimazole and hope to get into a good normal range. This has been such a roller coaster ride. I do realize that I could swing back hyPER but we’re hoping not. I am glad I went in for the blood work yesterday as I was not suppose to go get it and see the doc for another two weeks. I still have some tremors (HR & BP are fine), I am still pretty tired (endo said that a lot of people feel exhausted rather then energized with hyPER), and I am still having some anxiety, nervousness, and sadness. I am taking Zoloft for that and just upped the dose this morning. I have gained back a couple of pounds after having a 14 lbs weight loss over the last six weeks. My husband has been showing me how to work with some light weights and I am going to do some basic yoga. I have also been walking everyday. I just want to feel like myself! I am so frustrated I could sit and cry. The mornings seem to the worst part of the day for me. I am very shaky, anxious, and sad. I can’t explain it. I just feel out of sorts. As the day goes on it gets better just not soon enough for me. ” title=”Wink” />
I also had an appointment with the GI doc yesterday and I will be going in for endoscopy/colonoscopy next month. I am still working on the constipation issue but the doc said that what I am doing seems to be working. So I will just keep at it. I was having some rectal bleeding, which is believed to be from an internal hemorrhoid (sorry if too graphic) and the doctor figures that the abdominal pain that caused me to spend the night in the hospital last week was most likely an IBS flare with the constipation. The scopes are just to rule out anything else that might be going on. I have to admit I am scared but I know that it needs to be done. I wanted to have them done anyway. I have had scopes before and things were normal outside of a hiatal hernia and dyspepsia.
What an experience this has been. I am ready to feel good again!! Thanks for being here!

I would have to agree with you, this is a roller coaster ride for sure! I have been dealing with all of this for 4 years now and I’m still so confused! The only meds I’m on now are propranolol and hydrocortisone, My dr has me do labs every 6 weeks then emails me to let me know if I need more or less due to level changes, Its so crazy sometimes. I had partial TT in 2007, felt fine for about a year then everything came back! Not expected at all. I’ve had radiation to my eyes, PM w/biopsy, so much weakness, lots of weight gain (from mostly the steroids) and some how my endo says things will be ok? I’m not going to let this take the best of me! I’ve recently started my own healthy diet plan with light stationary bike riding each day which has lost me 5lbs since last Wednesday, so I guess its working. I need to regain back some of what I’ve lost for myself & my family. Who would ever think things could get so out of control? Good luck to you!
