Hey glad to hear you are being well treated. I was diagnosed with Graves back in September. They put me on a supress and replace course of medications. Within days the medications started to work and I started to feel better. Within 10 days i was like superhuman, fitter than i had ever been! Wonderful! Was like that until about a month ago when i suddenly took a turn for the worst.
Got send home from work for almost fainting in a meeting, suffered from extreme fatigue mixed with moments of euphoria/hyperactivity, leg muscle weakness and pains, breathlessness going up stairs,etc. (have a whole A4 page of symptoms). My doctor said my thyroid levels were too high again and reduced my dosage. I am not perfect but compared to how poorly i felt 2 weeks ago, i am satisfied.
” title=”Smile” />All this to say, that from what i understand, thyroid medication can work really well, but will regularly need to be adjusted. Not sure why though.
And if you ever feel frustrated when your body is having a bad day and you can’t do certain things you enjoy like maybe hiking or cycling, then i find the best cure is to take your mind off it for a few hours. In such cases I find that meeting up with friends in a cafe and just having a good time joking around about everything and nothing makes me forget for a few hours about my reduced quality of life and i come back home euphoric and happy.
