[QUOTE="Samael_Coughlan, post: 1206965, member: 315430"] I don't know how they do in the UK with the NHS. In Australia, Medicare and the PBS is the relevant bodies. So like I said before, I was told mine was comparably sorta mind, though that it might get worse later, and when I was on anti psych drugs, which causes all sorts of metabolic shenanigans, they would play it off even longer seeing that though thyroxine speeds up metabolism, most antipsychotics slow it way down and having both induced hypothyroidism AND antipsychotics in a diabetic, it would be really hard to manage until I stabilised, should I ever stabilise. One thing my psych said was that people who take these sorts of mental health medications are at risk of developing diabetes and thyroid issues, I already had them which made thing even more complicated. I've been on a subclinical/"wait and see" basis for quite a while now, stretched out by me gaining a busy life. LIke I said, I have been offered radioactive iodine, they just don't know if it might turn out bad. It might with a little context. I inherited this mess of my father. He was a bit older when they found out he had a hyperactive thyroid but found to have schizophrenia and diabetes at a similar age. They treated his hyperthyroidism with surgery and he really struggled afterwards. It got to the point where got frustrated and gave up feeling utterly **** from the difficult to control diabetes and the hypothyroidism, it slowed him right down and piled on the weight, as well as make him feel depressed most of the time. He ceased his schizo drugs and committed suicide shortly after. That wasn't to bring the mood down, that was more like not only why we're really cautious about moving too fast, especially as I'm not showing all the graves symptoms, apart from being kinda skinny and feeling hot, and my TDH levels could be a lot worse. I'm a complex case like my dad and he was kinda an example of how hard it is to get right. [/QUOTE]
