I am in the same boat. In Dec. of 2010 I was told I was Hyperthyroid. My TSH didn’t even register on my blood work. Then I was also told that I had Graves’. I was sad to hear this, but it at least explained why my eyes were no longer even. My left eye was measured at 3mm out. My endo put me on 5mg of methimazole twice a day. This helped with some of my symptoms (anxiety, restlessness, and extreme heat sensitivity). I thought everything was going good until recently. I got my blood work done in June. My TSH came back at 17!!!!! I just found this out at my appointment today. My endo wanted me to take less of the methimazole (5mg once a day), but when he heard me still having the hyper symptoms he hesitated. He had them take a current TSH level for blood before changing my meds. My eye has gotten better, much less obvious, so that is good. Still having issues with ALWAYS being hot! Don’t have the heart issues others talk about, but I do feel anxious/nervous sometimes for no reason at all. I am not feeling sluggish, acutally the opposite. I feel like I go a mile a minute and anyone who knows me asks "how are you always go go go". My mind and body feel it. I just turned 29 and I consider myself to be healthy. I run 5 times a week, yoga, lift. I eat healhty too, but no weight will come off. I think that is the only side effect I don’t have. Instead of weight loss I feel like I have gained. Any suggestions or words of wisdom???
