753274 tn?1233594136 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn My daughter was diagnosed with Graves on June 4th. She is 6. Luckily, I'm a teacher and have been able to stay at home with her the past couple of months to get this under control. I feel like our lives have been turned upside down. We started out with a sore throat and a diagnosis from an ENT of Thyroiditis......We ended up seeing a pediatric endocrinologist in an emergency visit because of her heart rate. We've been on methimazole since.

Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Graves disease 11 years ago. My endo prescribed Methimazole, which I was allergic to, so he told me he didn't want to prescribe me anything else because sometimes the allergy kills the thyroid. It apparently did, because all of a sudden I was hypo and I had to go on synthroid. Since then, I lost my health insurance and got handled by my PCP instead of the endo (cheaper).
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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 ,
Avatar f tn I have to say, I agree with jensequitur for suggesting thyroid disease. I have graves disease myself and I have had joint pain, muscle fatigue, irritable bowels, and hair loss. As far as the neurological related symptoms, I can relate to that as well, and that is why I have joined this forum. I have read and been told by my doctors that with having one autoimmune disease the chances of getting a second one is very possible.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Also can this be the cause of my joint pain? 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Typical symptoms of hypothyroidism might be fatigue, constipation, weight gain, dry skin/hair, hair loss, muscle/joint pain. Typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism might be fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, mood swings, and of course, the rapid heart rate/palpitations. Some symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle/joint pain can apply to either/both. Please post your actual thyroid hormone levels and be sure to include reference ranges, which vary lab to lab, so we can better assess your situation.
877337 tn?1249844450 tm514 - Thanks for the information. I'm learning to deal with this one day at a time. Currently I am looking forward to May 8th. Today was a rough day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Graves152 - I assume you had a scan done of your thyroid, when you were first diagnosed, was your entire thyroid effected or only part? I'm anxious to know what the diagnoses will be for me. Oh, does joint pain go along with any of this?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Yes, I agree that thyroid disease is a major disease. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in late 2005, had RAI ablation to kill some of the thyroid off, and have recently been trying to find my optimum dosage of Armour Thyroid. It is amazing how many things int he body the thyroid helps to control including muscle aches and pains, joint pain, emotions, metabolism, weight gain/loss, breathing and the list just keeps on going.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 28 year old woman and was diagnosed with graves disease 3 years ago. I have commented o many forums regarding my problem but would like your advice. I was treated with radio active iodine in 2006 and then became hypothyroid, I now take 150mg of levothyroxine daily. I have never suffered from graves opthalmology as far as i'm aware. For the last 6 months I have had a chronic daily headache. This started 3 days after purchasing new glasses.
Avatar n tn I have graves but I am having a lot of symptoms that are not related to graves. My primary doctor wants me to have an autoimmune blood panel that he said checks for other autoimmune diseases. It cost about $350.00 and I will have to mail it myself. Can anyone tell me if they have had this test or know anything about it?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn The swelling is associated with a number of other symptoms including arrhythmia, dizziness, tinnitus in my head, and also can be accompanied by noisy bowel sounds, abdominal pain, flushing of my face and neck, tremor, and pain in my armpit. I also suffer from intermittent fatigue and joint and muscle pain in my left arm. My thyroid function tests (TSH, t3, t4) are within a normal range. I also tested negative for a Pheo tumour and Carcinoid Syndrome.
390388 tn?1279636213 Hi There- One thing I noticed that you mentioned in your post was that you crave salt all the time. Have you been tested for Addison's disease? I know one of the key symptoms with that disease is craving for salt. Just a thought.
