Hi! My name is cindy I was diagnosed with
graves disease about 6 years ago , had
goitier and all kind of symptoms. First I
started with panic and anxiety attacks
which grew worse as time went on, I was
not diagnosed until three years later. I
was to afraid to go to the doctors thought
I was loosing my mind.Then I started
loosing my hair, had night sweats, overly
tired all the time, I slept more than I
was awake.I had the shakes,i could not eat
or drink anything without choking,my
throat was swollen big time. Anyway I was
referred to a specialist
an(endocrinologist)which specilize in
thyroid disorders. I had iodide radiation
to kill off my thyroid hormone because I
had a hyperactive thyroid which pumped
way to much thyroid hormone.I was also put
on synthyroid 125 mg a day and it took me
3 years to get my life back to or close to
what I call normal. But I have had the
best of all the symptoms on the list ,i
was very sick. If you have any questions
feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,cindy

I agree with the others and hope you have
seen a endocrinologist.
For years I was very tired and asked with
each of my annual blood work to have my
thyroid levels checks. But, each year I
was told everything was normal. In
November 2006, I had a standard checkup at
the VA clinic. Part of the process is to
do Xrays, they were concerned on the size
of my Thyroid. I told the VA I would have
my family Doctor check it out. But, when
my Doctor reviewed my last Thyroid test
she declaired everything was a ok. This
time I asked for the specific numbers on
the test and found there were some numbers
that were out side the "norm".
I insisted to go to an endocrinologist,
she did the antibody test and some other
test plus an ultrasound. With all this
the Endocrinologist said I have
Hoshimoto's but we can't tell for how long
I've had the Disease.
Though my little voice said something was
wrong my Doctor dismissed my complaints.
My night sweats (since 1994) all this time
were attributed to menopause. My fatigue
due to my Fibromyalgia (since 1989). My
hair loss (2004) was probably just age
(I'm 47).
I hope others don't wait. I hope when we
have bad days, others can help lift us up.
I wish you all the best.
