Does anyone have same thyroid problem with me?

We're the same. I also have hyperthyroid. It starts when my friends noticed that I'm loosing weight, my eyes bulged, and my heartbeat beats very fast even when I'm just walking. And that time I thought I'm just very stressed because of work. But I was wrong. Maybe I got this, because it's hereditary. Most of my family members are having this. I'm just 22 when I got this. But until now I'm taking medicines, and thank God I'm getting back to normal. Just continue taking up your medicines, and choose the doctor who's a specialist on thyroid, and just have a faith in Him. Happy mylotting.

Years ago, I had thyroid complications. Usually then the eyes bulge, they call it graves disease. I had hyperthyroidism, but I still gained 20 pounds in one month. No one could understand this. I was not eating that much food. Finally they realized it was because I was taking birth control meds and they found out that the birth control meds were interfering with the thyroid meds. If you are taking any other meds, you might ask your doctor if there is a problem with your meds conflicting. I remember feeling very nervous and on edge. Once my meds were adjusted, I finally had a partial thyroidectomy and I was fine. My thyroid has quit working completely now so I take thyroid meds. I feel fine. It takes a little time to get the dosage right, so you have to be patient and work with your doctor. Do not be afraid to ask for a second opinion if you don't feel comfortable with your current physician. Good luck and God bless.

When I was pregnant with our third child, I was told by my ob/gyn that I had hypothyroidism. She said I needed to go to the endocrinologist to make a absolute diagnosis. Hubby and I went to the doctor that she referred. He was very patronizing to me and basically was no help. He chalked up my symptoms as not much because I was an at-home mother who homeschooled two children and didn't get out of the house enough. I never went back to him needless to say. With each subsequent pregnancy I was told I had hypothyroidism. I didn't want to take medication because of my pregnancies. In Jan. 2008 I was pregnancy with our seventh child and my ob/gyn did the regular tests and now I am hyperthyroid! I don't know how it changed but it did. She convinced me to go back to the endocrinologist but this time I went to a new doctor closer to where we live now and she's really nice. The endo dr. told me that not being able to lose weight, being tired all the time are symptoms of both hypo and hyper thyroid. She ran tests on me and found out that I am subclinical hyperthyroid. I don't show the classic symptoms. She had me get a ultrasound which showed I have a nodule on one side of the thyroid and a cyst on the other. Ever since having the baby 14 months ago I noticed that I live in a brain fog. Each day blends into the other. It is very hard to function. I have never been able to lose any weight since my first pregnancy and I feel really miserable. She now wants me to have a biospy, more blood tests and another ultrasound. I just want to find a natural alternative to medication. Hopefully I will find something here or through searches on the internet. Maybe together we will find the answer.

Hi, I also had hyperthyroidism. I experience all the symptoms you mentioned except the bulging of the eyes. Bulging of eyes as far as I know shows an advance stage for this condition. But if there is nothing wrong with the thyroid scan... there must be a problem somewhere. Do not be content. If the therapy is getting slower. You are free to go to another doctor and ask for another opinion. I undergone a radio therapy. All the symptoms of Hyper was gone in weeks time, but i am now concerned with my condition because im gaining more pounds each day. I know this is very related to my hormone imbalance. So im lookin forward to go visit the doctor again. If anything is confusing in your situation, ASK your doctor... it is his resposibilty to explain things regarding your health to you... If he is not doing that, find another doctor! And I suggest you do it fast! The symptoms you mention cannot be handled by your body for a long time. YOu have an urgent thing to do.

Thank you Unchie. Please try eating fruits that will truly help your thyroid problem. One of the best that you can add to your diet which I have learned to help with thyroid problems are guyabano, vitamin c, pineapples and bananas. Get all the vitamins and minerals that you can get. There is nothing greater than eating fruits and vegetables to keep our body healthy to keep it functioning well.
