Well it was certainly nice to find this bulletin board. Last year I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, however, I seem to be an exceptional
case. I was told that I am very sensitive to thyroid hormone. Anyway
had the RAI and started to feel fine all last winter. By June, my endo
tells me my bloodwork is definetely hypo, however, I felt ok. Anway
started taking synthroid and and kept being increased. Seemed to be
coming along fine but now I feel nervous at times and don’t have a great appetite. The endo says definetely not your thyroid because
you are still hypo. Meanwhile I am supposed to be so sensitive to the
thyroid hormone, I’m thinking it’s my body adjusting to the increased
synthroid. Anybody else out there ever experience such. I did talk
to one friend who said it took her a while to get settled on the increased
dosages of synthroid. I hate Graves Disease but it is so nice to see
that I am not alone. Believe me I’ve been there, I know all about the
many sleepless nights, panic attacks, etc.
Thanks for listening.
Sandy
