Hyperthyroidism

[Fluffypoms]

Hey guys

After waiting for what seems like an age I've finally got a diagnosis of hyperthyroid.

My dr is sending me to a Endocrinologist but in the mean time will start me on meds
She did say that I won't Enjoy how they make me feel.

I feel awful right now anyway and mostly its the palpitations that I HATE.

Does anyone have any idea with How the medication works or what it makes you feel like??

I'm not sure what I will be taking as the dr is calling the Endo and will leave me a prescript at the desk when she has and will call me to say its waiting for me..

Thanks in advance x

I started last time on 20mg of carbimazole, then it got upped to 40, then I went a bit under so started on thyroxine and that dose was tweaked until my levels went back to normal. I carried on with the tablets for another 3 months, then came off them for another 3 months and had a blood test which was normal. It is a pain it has come back but as I said before, it was only found out because I had a blood test for something else, I had none of the feeling ill I had last time. I'm sure the endo said something about radioactive iodine therapy which I don't really want, I have 2 children and I work with children.

dlady thanks for reply, yes it's going to be hard having rai if you work with children and have two children of your own.
