Hello Everybody, there have been times when my husband comes home completely irritalbe and can't be talked to untill he has eaten. He goes from being irritated, angry and basicaly very upset to a calm melow guy after he has finished his meal. Now I have looked at Hypoglicimia but Hyperthyroid fits closely to syptoms he has. I wanted to get feed back from all of you, that led you guys to the diagnosis of Hyperthyroid.
Following Symptoms that I have come accross:
Mood swings
Sleeplessness (waking up and not being able to go back to sleep)
very ichy and dry skin on the calfs, shinny almost patchy skin
no matter how much he eats to try to gain weight it does not stick. if he does not eat much he looses weight.
has woken up in the middle of the night with rappid heart beat almost like he had ran a mile in a minute but was not out of breath. Sudden fatigue (after mowing the lawn for about an hour he was tremendously tired and could not move.
he has had joint pain. Sudden dryness of the throught without reason and has to run to get water. Some swelling around the eyes, sometimes his eyes seem to pop out not literaly but enough you can notice a difference. It is hard for me to tell my husband that perhaps he may have a thyroid problem, and i made the appointment tomorrow morning w/a doc just to make him get checked out cause like many people outthere they don't go to doctors unless its an emergency well that is my husband. I hope with some feedback from you guys he will go.
