symptoms of hyperthyroidism?
What did you feel like before you were diagnosed?
I didn’t even think about it until the doctor ordered a blood panel.
my symptoms (now that I think about it!)
occasional fatigue
muscle weakness when walking uphill
shortness of breath when exercising
high resting heart rate
loss of weight
shaky hands
My Mom claims this is due to too much caffeine but I have less than 8oz of coffee a day!
btw, i’m 22…
anxiety, stopped exercising bc of muscle loss, rapid heart rate, bad temper, hair loss, eating massive amounts of food with no weight gain,( not absorbing nutrients), thin skin, brittle nails, eyes felt sort of dry, i would wear sunglasses everywhere, hand tremors, gastro problems and memory loss.
i was diagnosed with graves’ disease.
suite101.com is where i go to ask questions.
good luck!
Mixed symptoms (Thyroid)?
Ok.
When I was first diagnoised with thyroid problems, I was diagnoised with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothryoidism).
I have symptoms of it: dry skin, brittle nails, I’m constantly tired, I have memory problems, a large goiter, and I’ve always had weight problems.
However- I also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Symptoms I have: I’m nervous, my hands shake, I sweat a lot, I’ve got a 50% chance of running to the bathroom after eating, my hair isn’t exactly what I would call fine, but it is soft, and it falls out.
So is it normal to have symptoms of both? Thank you.
A very important thing to bear in mind is that not every quirk of your body is necessarily connected to single thing. Different symptoms hit different people, and in addition to that hypothyroidism used to be called "the great imitator" because it has such a huge and general range of symptoms which could mean anything. Shaking, nervousness and hair loss are all hypOthyroid symptoms as well, and going to the bathroom a lot or sweating is probably for a whole host of possible other reasons, it’s not all about thyroid – diet, psychology, and lifestyle all have a part to play too.
It is absolutely impossible to have both hypo- and hyper- thyroidism at the same time, since they’re opposing disorders (i.e. one is too little and the other is too much) but it is very normal to have some symptoms which could be construed as meaning either, since the symptoms of both are very general.
Fluoridated Water is Dangerous

A news report about the dangers of water fluoridation.
According to the US National Research Council, “several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure on thyroid function” – particularly among individuals with an iodine deficiency.
Fluoride’s potential to impair thyroid function is most clearly illustrated by the fact that — up until the 1970s — European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland – even at doses as low as 2 mg/day.
Today, many people living in fluoridated communities are ingesting doses of fluoride (1.6-6.6 mg/day) that fall within the range of doses (2 to 10 mg/day) once used by doctors to reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients. This is of particular concern considering the widespread problem of hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) in the United States. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include obesity, lethargy, depression, and heart disease.

Does anyone have any experience with hyperthyroidism or Graves disease?
I am 21 years old, 5′5" tall, and about 105 pounds. I have problems gaining weight and keeping it on, I know these are a couple of the symptoms but I have no other symptoms, and I have had this problem with not being able to gain weight since birth. The reason I ask is because everything I have read says that you will notice most of these symptoms sort of suddenly and I would think if I had this problem all this time then someone would have tested me for it. Everyone has always told me it is just high metabolism. Please help.
Do you have a family history of the disease? When I was diagnosed with it last year, I was EXACTLY the same as you (5′5, 21, 105 lbs), and because of my family’s history with it, I knew it wasn’t a matter of IF I would get it, but WHEN. So, ask your parents if any of your relatives (mainly the females) have dealt with either hyper or hypo-thyroidism. Because it MAY very well just be a fast metabolism, but you want to be safe. If you develop an incredibly fast heart rate for more than a 24 hour period, immediately consult your doctor. This may mean something has triggered the disease to surface.
The benefits of radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism?
I was diagnosed with Graves disease 9 months ago and we tried medication for 8 months, but it did not really work, just slightly alleviated my symptoms. I got RAI 2 months ago and I honestly feel great. I can exercise and do not feel crappy anymore. Is it normal? I read I will most likely develop hypothyroidism. When will this show? Will I keep feeling better from now on?
You already experienced the benefit of such procedure pal. The main purpose of this treatment is the reduction/disappearance of symptoms of hyperthyroidism. yeah u will keep feeling better of course. For better explanation of this Please see the link below. Good Luck and stay happy thus making u feel a lot better.

Can Hyperthyroidism disrupt a woman’s menstural cycle?
I’ve just been unofficialy diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. So far, all of the symptoms fit, but I haven’t had my period this past month (no I am not pregnant), and I can’t find anything that says that might be another symptom.
who diagnosed you with hyperthyroidism? there isn’t a diagnosis of it until your TSH comes back high and your T4 hormone comes back low.
can hyperthyroid disrupt a menstrual cycle? you bet it can.
tell ur MD and have blood drawn to test your TSH and T4
Can you have hyperthyroidism and not be intolerant to heat?
I have all the other symptoms, except I don’t have a problem with heat or feeling "hot" all the time. I do have excessive sweating, but it has nothing to do with feeling hot.
Yes. Nobody is ever going to have EVERY symptom.
The only way to know if you are hyperthyroid or not is to get free T3 and free T4 blood tests.
