Lada and overtreated thyroid?

Burlsygirl - Although many experience a very settle time with their thyroid, once their medication is adjusted to an appropriate level, others can experience quite significant swings in the thyroid performance over time.

My mother had an over active thyroid, but her only symptom was thyroid eye disease,......... in one eye. Not both, just one!

To be honest, it took a very long time to actually reach a diagnosis, because the Docs seemed certain she must have some pathology impacting the positioning of her eye. Once they had exhausted all the scans and decided what it was, it was already easing, without pharmaceutical intervention. She never took meds.

Most GPs, in my personal experience are a bit scared of hormonal issues, and most Endo's find their specialism to be in diabetes.

When I started having issues with my thyroid, I joined a Health Unlocked forum, for thyroid matters. It is the thyroid equivalent of here for those with diabetes. There are also plenty over there who have both issues in play.

In your shoes, I'd go over and have a read. If it is of interest you can always join up. I learned a lot from the people over there.
