WOW omg I have these in my right leg arms and my fingers it’s killing me even typing this I can’t even open a packet of crisps

This for me is one of the worst parts of this illness as it really does mess with your lifestyle

I really do not know what to do about it either I just want you to know ur not alone. I’d be interested to know if is is a symptom EVERYone has with this disease or is it part of the tablets?? Anybody have any remedies? The only way I can explain it is when your serverly cold and ur bones seize it’s like that to me is that the same as you?

Thank you bobbi it’s 9pm here and I’m
Off to bed …. Far to tired itchy and irritable to be downstairs with the Hubby. I’m so so commented to my new tablets and really want them to work.

Are my new tablets ones that you have come across? Kimberly and bobbi have you had tablet success or surgery? Is surgery kinda the norm?
Do tablets work for most or hardly any?

Im sorry for the loads of questions I feel kinda alone I don’t wanna get my Hubby down with my worries and I wanna start feeling my age of 28 not 108

I wanna enjoy my twins they start school
In September now theryre4 so this is my last summer with them

Thanks so much again x

Thanks so much for the reply I’ve been checking for hours as I’m in the uk then realised where you guys were . Is carbimazole not used in the USA??? I had no change from them and was really upset at the hospital seeing my consultant as nothing had improved infact a lot of my levels were worse ;( it’s so disheartening and I’m finding myself ratty at the kids. This is truly the worst I’ve ever felt I’m now on propylthiouracil taking 150mg x 3 doses a day. Which is awful I hate taking pills ewwww I just dont know what to do and if this is ever going to go and if I’m ever going to be me again ;( x
