Hey Kristina!
I hope you feel better, soon! Did they finally get you diagnosed properly? I took levoxyl for awhile, and found that taking it at nightime right before I went to bed, was better than taking it in the morning. I hated having to wait for breakfast.
Big hugs!

Close Graves' Disease
I just found out a few days ago that I have Grave's disease as well as a multinodular goiter. Waiting for my TSH levels to come down for a biopsy to asess the nodules. I'm the last (5th) memeber of my family to come down with thyroid disease (although my dad is the only one with hyperthyroidism, my mom and sisters all have hypothyroidism). I'm hoping this group can provide me with info. as well as much needed support. :0)
Treatments
- Methimazole Somewhat Helpful
- I've only been taking Methimazole for a couple of weeks now, so kind of eary to tell. Has definately been helping with the palpations I was having previously.
- Radioactive Iodine Somewhat Helpful
- I took the small dosage for diagnostic purposes only - but may have the take the higher dosage to kill off part of my thyroid in the future. Even with the small dosage, heartrate increased dramatically and felt very anxious- with palpations also.
Close Hyperthyroidism
Recently found out that I have hyperthyroidism
Treatments
- Methimazole Working / Worked
- Only been on it a couple of weeks - seems to be working o.k. Only take 5mg AM and 5mg PM
Open Dizziness & Vertigo
A little over a year ago now, I woke up in the middle of the night and the room was spinning (and no, I don't drink LOL). I haven't been able to sleep on my left side since then. Had an MRI - fortunately they didn't see anything. I don't know if this could be a symptom of Grave's disease (which I also have)?
Open Goiter
Recently found out that I have a multinodular goiter. I am waiting to have a biopsy to find out what kind of nodules they are. Have to wait for my TSH levels to come down first however.
Open Hypothyroidism
