help!

Does any one out there have excruciating pain in their legs and neck due to Graves desease? Also, is 0.10 Tsh level extremely low or is it just borderline low and also is it common to be anemia with Graves? Should I have my thyroid removed?

Hi again

Forgot to say, my son's girfriend's mother has Graves as well and she is borderline anaemic - her Vitamin B12 was found to be low and the doc told her they do watch out for anaemia with Thyroid conditions.

Hi Cathyjoe304

I've had Graves Disease for a few years now.

Boy did my muscles ache - my legs, arms, shoulders and neck were in agony.  The doctor just said it was the Graves Disease and gave me pain killers. I also suffered muscle cramps at times as well.

My TSH was undetectable at all times.  I reckon yours is low as well.

I do hope  you feel better soon.

I had RAI 6 weeks ago.  Just been to get my bloods done today and will get the result on Thursday.

I have lost 6kg in weight since having RAI and the doc reckons I am still a bit hyper - pulse is still a bit fast, hands feel warm (but my feet are freezing!).  Just ahve to wait until Thursday to find out.

As I said I hope you feel better soon - my doc found out it was when mt Free T4 was high I was getting the pains in mty legs, shoulders and neck.

Take care.

I don't remember any pain - per say prior to my Graves ablation. I had it after with being hypothyroid.

I am at a >0.01 right now with a TSH -
