I’m glad to here you are home after your surgery, sorry about the fluids gain. However I think you get some slack after surgery. Just wait until you feel better then you can work them off.

Again glad to hear you are home and hopefully you get the results you are hoping for.

I am so looking forward to going hypo, and gaining weight Then I will have to come up with another excuse not to work out, I won’t have the heart rate to high or no energy excuse then. Luckily I know myself and I will come up with another excuse.
Has anyone figured out how to put motivation in a pill form? If you have sell it you will make billions

I have to say I am feeling very lucky. I went in for my yearly exam with my doctor and she started requiring blood work before an exam and my TSH was out of whack and immediately she sent me to an endo. The only external symptom I had was an elevated heart rate which I didn’t even notice.

I lost my job and my insurance 2 months ago and had to stop taking my meds and definitely felt the symptoms you guys talk about until 2 weeks ago I was able to get back on my meds. The symptoms were awful, I don’t know how any of you have been able to stand them for any extended period of time.

Kudos to you all for what you have had to go through.

I have been on methimazole for 2 weeks, my legs felt like I was retaining massive amounts of water, I took a water pill and that helped. I am lucky and am able to keep my legs up for a lot of the day and that may also help. I haven’t had any of the other symptom’s listed, yet. I guess we just have to wait and see how it goes.

Thank you guys for all the support. I am just starting this journey, 2 weeks on propranolol and methimazole, so I know I will be writing and reading a lot as I start the stabilizing and RAI journey.
It is definitely wonderful to know I am not alone and there is a place I can go to get answers and also an idea of what I am in for.
