[QUOTE="lessci, post: 2280360, member: 74756"] Hi Jo, Hope you get some answers soon and can start to resolve your issues. Thyroid problems are the pits. My Dad had Graves disease in the early 1980's( all the classic symptoms weight loss, bulging eyes, very short temper) - was over medicated and ended up in hospital with heart failure! I had an overactive thyroid about 12 years ago, but with none of the classic symptoms. Went to see my GP with VERY swollen feet, he sent me for a full blood panel and I was making to much T4, but converting the correct amount into T3, a years worth of meds and it corrected itself. I still run on the high side of normal, but the only noticeable side effect of this is I "run hot" meaning when everyone else is shivering with the cold I'm running round in a vest top and opening windows. My Mum has had 2 different types of thyroid cancer at the same time, and a total thyroidectamy. She was told that she'd never be classed as cured, but in long term remission but 10+ years later she's been signed off from the oncologist and just has to have blood tests to keep a track of her levels. We're all a bunch of crocks. You can do this [/QUOTE]
