Glad to hear that you been treated really well and happy that your levels are normal now is it possible Linda that if u are on carbimazole for few weeks only and ur blood results for tsh and t4 are normal they can stop ur medication completely and did u have thyroid goiter or not bcs I had and its still have inflammation
As far as stopping your medication completely if your hyperthyroidism is not due to an autoimmune problem, then it might be possible. However, something is causing the inflammation and that needs to be addressed. I did not have a thyroid goiter but one Endo said he thought there was more swelling on one side of my thyroid compared to the other. Also I do take Omega 3 and a prescribed drug for Arthritis for inflammation lowering.
Hi everyone. Hope u guys are OK Linda how u feeling now? I just wanted to ask u guys that I get my hands numb whilst I'm sleeping even I'm euthyroid now taking supplements as well don't understand this is it related to thyroid?Has anyone else ever had this issue bcs of thyroid just want some advise that what should I do?thanks
I had Carpal Tunnel syndrome which affects the nerves in the fingers and hands. I had it for years actually and it got progressively worse til I urged my doc to send me for another opinion. He asked around and there was a plastic hand surgery specialist and I saw her. Had two surgeries about a month apart, one on each hand, to release the pressure on my nerves and touch wood, so far it has never returned.
Thanks Linda this is what I have searched in google too what kind of test your doctor did to check it out for you and did u have this problem after u become hyperthyroid or before bcs I never had this issue before
I had it both before and after.my Graves diagnosis. My doc had sent me to an Orthopedic specialist who did neurological tests and followed me along but did nothing for years even after tests documented it was worsening. Then I insisted my GP send me to someone else. Luckily for me he did because I have heard of people who had surgery by others and were never able to work again.
Thanks Linda that means I should get a refferl from my GP for an orthopedic doctor who can check this out for me
The Orthopedic Surgeon I went to was useless. He finally referred me to a Hand Plastic Surgeon who did an amazing job. My brother was fortunate enough to be referred to a good Orthopedic Hospital and he also had surgery. Try to find out who is good at treating this in your area and then get a referral to them.
OK thanks alot Linda ....after adding the supplement my vision is not better yet Linda specially when I'm on computer or phone its really blurry there s another thing I wanted to ask if I don't eat for couple of hours I get that dizzy feeling is that normal?
What supplement did you add? I don't know about your dizziness. It may be due to other medical issues. Have you had a thorough physical check-up from your doctor?
Selenium magnesium vitamin D folic acid ....yes doctor has checked my b12 which is normal antibodies are 55 normal range is 50 so slightly high ...but as soonest I eat I get my energy back it only happen around 15:00 pm in the afternoon that's if I haven't eat anything I don't know what is that?but my vision really bothers me
You could possibly have diabetes which is why you need a full physical done by your doc and lab tests for whatever symptoms you are having.in addition to the thyroid.
They have done diabetes test twice ....I got one fibroid too do u think I has some effect as well?
Both times diabetes test was normal
I don't know Samy. I had fibroids and I had mood swings after I got the second one and was menopausal.
Hi Linda just wanted to ask that bcs of fibroid did u ever had problem to run toilets a lot bcs I'm running g to toilet for pee a lot is that normal?
Yes I have that problem now. It depends on where the fibroid is located and how big it is. If it is pressing on the bladder, then you don't have as much bladder capacity to hold urine. I had two fibroids removed but this third one they won't remove so as long as I don't have bleeding or any major problems with it, I won't have surgery.
I think I have to go for a scan just to find out again where the fibroid is now bcs I can't go anywhere bcs of running to loo all the time thanks once again Linda do appreciate a lot
