    I found one line in my notes relating to this for you –

    The Thyroid (Physiology and Treatment of Disease)
    International Encyclopedia of Pharmacology & Therapeutics) Section 101
    Eidtiors Jerome Hershman and George Bray

    page 178 “There is an association between hyperthyroidism and sporadic
    hypokalemic periodic paralysis wihich is particularly evident in Japanese
    and Chinese (Engel,1961)and usually found during the course of active
    hyperthyroidism. The attacks often disappear once the hypethyroidism is
    controlled.(Skillern,1952) Onset of muscle cramps and arthralgias during
    treatment should alert the clinician to the possible development of
    hypothryoidism as athralgias are a common and early sign of hypo-
    thryoidism and are not associated with hyperthyroidism.”
