My endo said it could take 6 weeks or so for my symptoms to "catch up" to my labs. I’m just into the normal range and my symptoms have greatly improved, but some are still lingering (esp, the tremors). It’s hard to continue to be patient when it’s been such a long road already. But hang in there – you’re heading in the right direction.

hey all. i had my bloodwork done yesterday and they Said it will take three days but i called my endo today in complaints of hyper symptoms. I was having palpitations. hot claminess severe muscle Spasms and twitches. I thought i was going into storm. I was freaking out. Well my endo called with my results. I am still hyper but just borderline. Im almost back to normal. I was still out of it and forgot to ask for numbers but im thinking well this is good right. Does anyone have a range that i could get a mental picture as to where i am at? I go the 30Th For an office visit and bloodwork again. I just dont understand why im feeling blah if my levels are getting better.

Emily,
Thanks for reassuring me ” title=”Smile” /> After I read that I was like "okay, cool" Im "normal" to feel this way. Yeah, my tremors have been here and there too. I can, though, put things back in holes better lol (ie. Mascara, eyeliner) etc. This Tuesday was week 6 and i’m just now hyper borderline so i was happy to hear that even though I thought I was becoming hypo but its still good news.. Im guessing that im safe from Storm:) I was really worrying myself about that cause I heard a lady went into TS in week 5. I also have been stressing about college/major choice etc. I need to sometimes just sit back and BREATH. Have you been taking ur beta blocker at all? I don’t need it like every 6-8 hrs like i did before. I used to count down till my next dose. I have noticed some tachycardia when i climb stairs still. UGH. I took it that day and my HR was like 49 resting. So I was like not doing that anymore. So i lowered it to ONE pill today when I had a panic attack over my muscles jumping out of my skin. I took that at 12(noon) and my HR is still a lil under 60. I told my endo and he said to take a half if i ABSOLUTELY need to. I was always taking my pulse saying "SLOOOOW DOWN PLEASE" now Im like okay "SPEED UP" hahahah. My body is prbly like WHAT THE HECK…I see your from OHIO. I would really like to have a ‘meeting confrence’/support group type deal in this area. I will always be a part of this foundation. People and our Facilitators were LITERALLY my rock and support group. I don’t know what I would have done with everyone on here. <<<It brings me to tears>>> When celebrities talk about their charity’s I want to be like GRAVES DISEASE FOUNDATION…If i ever won a large sum of money I would donate half of what I won. I want to see a cure for this ya know. Okay, look at me. Im babbling. Any whoo. Private message me and keep me updated on ur GOOD NEWS and everyone else of course. Have a good night everyone…. <<<<<<<<<<Hugs>>>>>>>> Muah, xoxox:)

I am not taking my beta blocker – been off it for a few weeks. When I first started weaning from it, I noticed an increase in symptoms (Ski called it a rubber-band effect). But after a few days, with my endo and GP re-assuring me that I didn’t need it anymore, i felt much better physically. I was very anxious about going off of it, but wanted to be off of it. Check my post about weaning from a beta blocker. I’m also taking a very low dose of Zoloft, which has helped with y anxiety. Now I feel like I can handle the physical stuff and not be so anxious about it.
Keep your chin up.

I am only a few days ahead of you. Had my RAI on May 8th. I thought I was getting much better and then about two weeks ago I started back with symptoms again. I really wasn’t happy about that. I think that some of it is related to my "womanly" hormone schedule. I had a horrible night sweat last night and then my period started this morning and I suddenly feel so much better again. Ski wrote me back that things would be muddled for a while. I hope that now I am past the six week mark that I will really start to feel a bigger change for the better. I know that it takes time and some days I am very impatient.

Hope you are feeling better today.
