Hello,
I was diagnosed wid GD just 6 days ago. It is amazing when you realized what was the root for all those "weird" symptoms I was having for over 3 years, not knowing it was Hyperthyroidsm. I have been reading everywhere but it a little overwhelming. Now thta I had found this group is like thinks start making sense to me …just a little bit..
I am not very familiar yet with all this terms but I can tell you about my RAI uptake test. In 24 hours my thyroid absorbed 98% of the iodine. The Dr.told me my levels were very high.. so far the only symptoms I’ve had are; tremors, left bottom eye "twitching" constantly (a little annoying at work"), my heart rate extremely fast and I had lost 40 pounds… I started taking Methimazole 20mg /day along with Propranolol 20mg every 6 hours as needed. I can tell you I feel so weird, different, very sad every day. Not sure which of those is causing me feel that way.
Anybody who can just give me ideas on where am I going to be in 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, maybe a year? I am a very possitive person who alwys give others comfort and now here I am, kind of lost in my new world.
Thank you all
