graves disease and joint pain

I recently lowered my dose to 100 mcg synthroid, it was 112mcg I crossed over to hyper and got the joint pain and I know when I was hypo, I got the joint pain too. This past week I have been pain free.

Yes joint and muscle pain is also a symptom of graves. However being low for potassium and magnesium can also cause joint pain. These deficiencies are common in hyper. Do you take supplements? Does the cramp feel gassy?

for the past yer a had sever burning oain in my left shoulder blade i was diagnosis with graves diseas and ,i know that there is joint pain with this problem , my pain is ther day and night and frankly a dont know were to go or wat do i do to releve the pain ,

My 4 yr old son was diagnosed with Graves' disease in Sep 07. PTU and Atenolol were started immediately. He has responded to both medications (Atenolol was discontinued in Dec 07). However, TSH levels are still below normal level. T3/T4 have been within normal range since Jan 08 but are fluctuating with dosage changes. My son complains of joint, shin and back pain periodically. He has excessive height compared to kids his age (4 inches above 100th percentile for his age).

I am a 25 y/o female diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at 16 and later with Graves Disease and Goiter. I have been on Tapazol along with Atenelol (for the Tachacardia) off and on for the past 9 years with no results. Every doc I see wants to discuss nothing but RAI or surgery. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few years with no success. I finally found out that I was pregnant the beginning of last year and made it to 4 months and suffered a miscarriage for no apparent reason.

I am just cofused because he didnt tell me that my cramps and spasms and joint pain would be sooo much worse than before i started the vit D. I have read that graves can cause osteoporosis and since there is no way to know how long i've had graves should i be tested for it?

s than I do Graves -- complete intolerance of cold, fatigue, dry skin, hoarse voice, pain and joint stiffness, muscle weakness, depression. The only symptom of Graves I have is frequent bowel movements. I take synthroid 150 daily. Thank you.

I have graves disease (hyperthyroid) and graves eye disease...turns out many of the dificiencise caused by the statins put my system in imbalance. And so much for their great ability to reduce inflammation...mine is through the roof. The l-carnitine and coQ10 and selenium have worked wonders though.

graves disease will attack and organ. the first time I had graves disease it was attacking my heart making my heart beat faster. I was on medication for about 2 years. then it went into remission now it is back. graves disease could attack any organ , graves disease is your immune system attacks your organs not virus or bacteria.

Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In some cases you can have both autoimmune diseases at the same time which is called Hashitoxicosis. Sometimes the labs can be normal as both diseases can mess with the labs. In my case I had subclinical hypo labs with major hyper symptoms due to Graves antibodies.

5 yrs - Symptoms vary in intensity and duration, but they are as follows - heavy tiredness, muscle weakness, balance probs, anxiety, palpatations, muscle aches, joint pain, occassional strange explosions in my head ( feel like a split second stroke ), tingling sensations in my face and numbness in my hands, muscle twitches and cramps, hard to get up in the am, migraine headches, involuntary jerks, ? depression and seem to have CNS medication sensitivities.

I'm hyper. No one told me to take Fish Oil, but have taken it for several years. It's a great antioxident. I take Glucosamine Chondroitin to keep from getting joint pain. It's an enzyme. I'm a court reporter and picked this up in several depositions of orthopedic surgeons recommending it for their patients. So, can't tell you too much more. Graves was mentioned with me, also, but my eyes appear to be fine. good luck.

Anyway my levels were up and down for the first year then for the next 4 months I was told I was in the normal range even though I would still have symptoms ranging from tiredness and only being awake for about 4 hours a say, then to insomnia where I was only sleeping about 4 hours a day, also nausea, headaches on and off, and a horrible feeling like my flesh was rotting under my skin.

My symptoms have been low/absent period all my life, irritability, intolerance to heat and excess sweat all my life, joint pain started after first baby 7 years ago and got progressively worse, heart palpatations comes and goes 6 mos now, unexplained weight gain, increased appetite. I also have very low Vit D levels. She said it could be post partum hyperthyroid since I just had a baby. She is 3 mos old. If that is the case then shouldn't we still investigate the joint pain?

extreme fatigue w/ days of exhaustion and severe joint/muscle pain. The mental fog and memory loss was only complicating my job with the other symptoms. I was taken off work in dec for a few wks because I could no longer perform my job safely. I work as a er nurse and medic. My GP ran a battery of tests to find a elevated CRP 24.8 low tsh 0.08 low wbc 2.4 low sodium 132? K+ 4.8. 8lb weight loss in a wk with no return despite what I eat.

I was told I might have TAO because I have had dry eye syndrome for years and also a persistent pain in my neck. Do you think I have Gaves ophthalmopathy?

Hopefully Dr Lupo on this site can shed some light on this. I am not sure how long the joint pain and swelling from the methimazole will last....my guess is that once it is out of your system this should resolve. Good luck to you and sorry you have to go through all this. So far my eyes aren't affected so my endocrinologist says.

ve been having these severe migraines for over 2 months now, my eyes hurt terribly from all the pressure, im not sure if its the pressure in my nerves from all the spasms and intense pain and weakness im having in my limbs but im scared that its ocular migraines, i could not read properly with having bad pain in my head, i have graves disease but with my doctors appoinment yesterday at the endocrinologist the doc says im 'normal' when im everything but the muscle weakness is so sever i

Next thing he did was feel my neck and said he could feel a small goitre so he did bloods and it came back T4 off the scale T3 much the same and TSH not detectable -GRAVES DISEASE! The goitre got bigger from then onwards and my eyes started to bulge. I also became a nervous wreck and quite irritable.

, and weird places like my behind. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in Sep 06 and thyca surgery in Dec 06. The spams started shortly after the surgery. I have no clue if any thing can be done for the spasms.

What can be done to resolve graves? My husband was diagnosed with text book Graves in August 2013. Massive weight loss, tremors, diarrhea, tiredness, agitation, sweating, low sex drive, joint pain, fast irregular heartbeat, body temp hot to the touch. The most prominent is his eyes are bulging so badly he couldn't close his eyes in the shower to keep the soap out. He was a cat on a hot tin roof. He is seeing an endo who checks his blood monthly and has done no other tests.
