[QUOTE="shop, post: 308496, member: 42992"] Hi Sanober and RRB, Sanober. My T4 was over what it should have been but the Dr said he had seen higher. I was very manic too, on my day off on a Saturday I was rushing around the house ( absolutely no need to. ) I had a high pressured job at the time and just thought that I was having trouble coping. One of the problems is that some of the symptoms are also similar to anxiety symptoms so Thyroid probs are only detected once Bloods are done and everything is evaluated. The thing with an overactive thyroid is that not everyone will have all of the symptoms. My tremor was very slight. Also people assume that if you are exhausted then it must be underactive as that is also one of the symptoms for an underactive thyroid. Don't underestimate how tired you can feel when your heart is working harder than normal even when you sleep. ( My Gp said no wonder you feel so tired when your heart is going twice as fast as it should ( I said originaly over 100, it was 120+ the majority of the time the more I remember, In between times I was told to report it to my Dr if it was above 100.) RRB, the throat thing could be a goitre ( did you mention this to your Dr? ) and it can run in families. My Auntie has hypothyroid. My MIL has been hyper and had the excact same treatment as me and is now Hypothyroid, unfortunately he eyes were affected as they were bulging and she was left with double vision. Her 2 Sisters have had probs too. You will find that If you are hyper then they prefer to refer you to an endo for it as ( my endo said to me ) it is not an exact science! Whereas hypothyroid can be treated by a GP. The good thing is that once treated successfully it is monitored regularly. Hope you both get it all sorted and treated soon. Take care both Lucy xxx [/QUOTE]
