graves disease
by jw69, Dec 08, 2007 11:26PM
Hi - i'm on neomercazole for graves disease which i was diagnosed with in February 2007 - i was put on several tablets a day which then put me underactive- my levels are now steady but i am experiencing intermenstral bleeding - so i basically have a period every 13 days - this doesn't seem normal to me but is it just the hormone imbalance? THANKS

I would ask your doctor about it though. Periods every 13 days does not sound good. That means you are PMSingn every 2 weeks. Not to mention bleeding too often. I would not be happy if it were me and I would refuse to put up with it.
I too have graves for over 25 yrs. Graves and low thyroid , like hashimotos thyroiditis, have totally opposite symptoms. Often when you are on meds for Graves , you actually may go low on thyroid .
High... fast pulse, high bp, loss of periods, thin depite ravenous appetite, thin hair, warm moist skin, tremor in hands, anxiety to name a few.
Low... slow pulse , low bp, heavy or more frequent periods, weight gain, graying of hair, tired, dry skin, slows your mental functions.
Sounds like it is time to do thyroid studies and a complete work up .
Thyroid disease is often discovered , or goes out of remission after pregnancy, upper respiratory infections and I imagine any stress.
I've been on the yo yo, so , you just have to be vigilant and follow up regularly.
