Hi everyone. I last left a message on 17-march. It was about what to eat to keep my mind off smoking. I hadn't had a cig for 3 days and I wanted to know of any snacks that would keep my mouth busy. Well you certainly gave me some good ideas but I thought I'd tell you that I am now 2 months without ciggies but I've found out why I was so thin. An overactive thyroid. I was shocked to say the least and had been blaming how I felt on the diabetes. I'm back to the 'Endo next week and will find out what's going to happen. I just hope that something can be done so I can stop the Carbimazole pills. They are a nightmare for me. I've even got toothache where there is no teeth!!!
Swollen ankles and swollen lower legs and the pain and weakness in my shoulders and arms is unbelievable. I never knew that the thyroid caused all this suffering( what a martyr I am!)
I wondered if there is a link between this and diabetes. Does anybody know.
Perhaps a cig will make me feel better! haha! Cheers all :lol:
 
thyroid disorders are common in diabetics, i sympathise with you as i ended up in ccu with hyperthyroidism and subsequently ended up the other way with hypothyroidism,well done with the smoking :D
 
the thyroid???
i had carbimazole, then it went to normal after about a yr, then i went to not making any thyroxine at all about 4 yrs later, once on thyroxine on a stable dose i suffered no symptoms, my thyroid will not work again tho,
i have a friend that underwent iodine therapy that worked well for an overactive thyroid too
