Hi I’ve been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid 3 weeks ago, I’m on carbimazole 20mg 2 times a day, I couldn’t believe it was over as I’ve put weight on and was very tired and achy all the time, I went to the docs because I wasn’t feeling well and had stomach problems too, I am feeling a bit better at the moment but still not 100% as anyone else had these issues ? I’ve not even been to see an endrocoligist yet, still waiting on appointment.
Hi Jackie, do you mean you have been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid only three weeks ago? When I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, it took me more than 1.5 years to fully recover with medication, and throughout there were various symptoms which I had to overcome, mostly with the help of propranolol (temporary basis) until the symptoms subsided. I guess you just need to give your body some time to adjust and slowly balance back to the normal range. All the best!
Hi Jackie, what sort of stomach problems do u have?
