What Tajma gave as symptoms are classic signs of Graves.
Be there, done that.
Thank you for the advice and I will keep you guys updated.
Hello all, thanks so much for your posts i hate feeling alone in this and it helps to hear from others. Chrystal
Can't comment on the Graves, but I did have a "TT" (Total Thyroidectomy-removal of the entire thyroid), for cancer. Many here with way more knowledge than I, especially on Graves. I wish you luck with your journey. Keep us updated.
Hi, thanks for the response but may ask what is "TT" and do you recommend it for me.
Everything you are complaining of, I experienced before my TT, in January 2008. Tremors are not uncommon and drive me crazy. I dislike all of the symptoms, but I hate to gain weight. Since I switched from Levothy to Armour, my joints hurt because my levels are low. I will have to call and get the doc to increase my pills from 60mg to 120mgs.
I have lost 80 lbs this last year hair loss but thats MINOR. and i have palpatations and sometimes this weird tremor thing posted above thats all so far. Chrystal
I forgot to let you know I have lost over 20 lbs since my diagnosis, hair loss, sore throat, and my muscles hurt a lot.
I understand your fear and I have had four test between October 2007- March, 2008 and my TSH has been <0.001 and my Free T4 level is 5.51. I have been feeling very sick since diagnosed with Graves Disease. I can only tell you some of the symptoms I have gone through such as:
Frequent bowel movements
Tremors
Tachycardia
Insomnia
Confusion
Dizziness
Restlesness
Trouble concentrating
Profuse sweating
Extremely Hot (despite cool temperatures)
