- I'm an anxious person. I worry all the time, about everything. I have a thyroid disease, and I'm not sure if that is why I always feel awful, but that seems to be an ongoing saga. My dad died suddenly three years ago and six months after that, I had...
- My thyroid levels are normal, according to my endocrinologist, and I had blood work done in September. I just feel so weird so much of the time. I never have a day where I just feel fine. I get dizzy, my head hurts, I get tongue tied, I lose my...
- It comes and goes, and I'm hoping that maybe the radioactive iodine treatments I've had are finally working because sometimes the chokey feeling is accompanied by a burning sensation in the thyroid region. Unfortunately, I also feel like my throat...
- I've been getting a lot of headaches accompanied by this weird feeling of vertigo, almost like my brain is just floating around inside my head making me all off balance. My legs are suddenly all weak, too. Is this a thyroid thing? I'm trying not to...
- Does anyone else deal with persistent anxiety due to this stupid disease? It seems like I can't live a normal life anymore because this stuff keeps dogging me like it's my own shadow. The thyroid symptoms are never consistent and my levels fluctuate...
- So, my whole life I've had stage fright. No big deal. I'd be anxious, then I'd do what I had to do (presentation, project, whatever) and I'd be fine. Then one day I had a panic attack when I was driving and all of that changed. I haven't been the...
- I had bloodwork done last week and my numbers are: Free T3- 4.81 [1.71-3.71]Free T4- 1.48 [0.70-1.48]TSH- 0.01 [0.35-4.94] I still have hypo symptoms even though I'm evidently still hyper. My endo had me go on half a 5mg tab of methimazole daily and...
- I was in to see my endocrinologist last Monday, and I'd had labs done before my appointment on that Friday before, September 23 or thereabouts. When I went in, my labs weren't really low or anything, they were sort of in the normal range. The report...
- I've had exercise induced asthma all my life, and it's never been a huge issue. I use my rescue inhaler and bam, I'm good. But at the end of June I started having random breathing problems, BAD ones. No wheezing or anything, but my chest is so tight...
- I had a few panic attacks in cars, and now I'm afraid to drive alone for long distances and I have told myself that I can't go anywhere if anyone else is driving which is making getting around difficult. I managed to get a hold on it but it happened...
- anybody ever experience this? my thyroid levels have been ridiculous this month because I'm having radiation again so my endocrinologist put me on double meds to get the thyroid super low, and then took me off of everything for two weeks so I could...
- I'm scheduled for a scan and uptake on April 14 and 15, and my endo has me on 20 mg of methimazole in anticipation of the fact that I have to be off of it completely starting March 31. I was feeling fine, but recently I developed a sore throat and...
- I may have to have a second one, since the first, almost a year ago, obviously didn't cut it. Besides being immensely frustrated, I'm curious as to anyone else's reactions and successes with the treatment, and if anyone has had it a second time, how...
- What's the lowdown on this? I turned 21 last month and I don't drink often, but last night I had maybe half a beer and today I feel awful. My heart rate seems realllllly slow, and I'm currently taking methimazole and propranolol. Of course, my...
