thyroid disorder symptoms

A:Yes, abnormal thyroid gland may prodruce more or less thyroxin,same is true in the insulin production.a type2 diabetic may have more or less insulin. See your endocrinologist.

A:Well, it sounds like you have a rather nasty case of Grave's. However, you also have something else in there that I don't recognize. Nervous and jittery, feeling tired, not wanting to do activities, increased heart rate, heart palps, diff concentrating, depression and sadness, hair loss, irritability, and irregular periods are all Grave's indicators. It sounds like you are where I was when mine was diagnosed -- yes, it is nasty, insiduous, and pretty awful, since you are too tired to do anything, eat all the time, and forget everything you did or thought. In 6-9 months, you should feel like a new woman. In about 3 months, many of your symptoms will have disappeared. That said, you need to speak with the doctor about the stuttering issue if it continues. You may find that with the euphoria that comes from diagnosis and treatment, your depression lifts, you start to feel good about yourself again, and your sex drive increases. And you'll want to get a good package of Motrin and a heating pad, because I have no advice for the cramps. :) I've been there. Yes, it is horrible, and no one ever seems to address the psychological effect of having this life-altering disorder. Your body is literally making itself sick and then eating the muscles to survive -- not a cool picture for a person operating on reduced cognition since not enough oxygen is getting to the brain! So, yes, you are panicked. You have no idea what is going on. You just want it to stop. What I did was tell my family members all about it and sought their help. My mom literally moved 500 miles to be with me during the worst part of the diagnosis, to hold my hand through the terror of not knowing (I was 22). She was the one to open up the doors to the family home when the doc put me on heart attack medication and told me to take 6 weeks off from work (and I wouldn't have been able to pay the rent). And my brothers helped immensely by not saying "you forgot" when I forgot things ... they understood I was not right cognitively yet. It took me about a month to have many of the symptoms relieved, but it took 9 months for full remission. A year later I gained fat cells, which I celebrated with as much joy as one does a birthday. Don't worry, there IS an end to that road out there -- it'll seem like forever, but get your family and friends in to help you in the interim. That support is key.

A:I can only speak for symptoms of an overactive thyroid. There may be an increase in the heartrate. Hands may become shaky. It may become difficult to get to sleep and or stay asleep. Over time an enlargement may be seen on the throat area. Hot flashes may occur and you might experience difficulty concentrating on any one subject or thought.
