Hello, I just thought I would update. For the most part I have been doing extremely well, had some rough patches with symptoms but for the most part they are not lasting nearly as long as they used...
Just thought I would update. I am doing okay although I have had some minor issues in the last few days, mainly some nausea and lightheaded feelings. I've just got to tell myself that the symptoms...
Thank you! You're right, it seems like every time I fear getting worse, I do get worse. I am trying so hard not to keep second guessing this good week I'm having. I keep wondering when the bad days...
Thanks! The weak feelings seem pretty common in those of us with anxiety, it's a frightening symptom but I've gotta keep telling myself it's nothing. Fortunately I haven't had it for a few days. I...
You're right, admitting the symptoms are anxiety related is much easier but at the same time it's tough because I keep thinking "what if they're wrong." I haven't talked much about anxiety with my...
You're right, the symptoms are crazy! I'm not having the weakness today but today it is nausea and lightheaded feelings. I was doing well today until I had some stress, my water got shut off for not...
Thanks Scaredy. Did you ever get weak limbs? I used to have the whole left side of my body go weak a lot. Today my legs and feet are crampy like I've been on my feet a lot and I'm also getting weak...
It seems like most of the stuff I read from other people says they have the symptoms when they are panicking, I have them constantly. Today my arms and legs feel weak and crampy and I'm paranoid...
Thanks so much foreveranxious! It's nice to hear from someone who's been going through the same thing for a long time. Congrats on surviving cancer! I am not having a good day so far... I have had...
Haha, sounds good! I've been super nauseous though so I don't know about dairy. I went to a walk-in clinic yesterday and they gave me antibiotics just in case I had strep, but they are making me SICK...
I haven't had Ensure but I have some Slimfast shakes that I've been drinking today. I've had such a hard time eating today and yesterday because my throat and the back of my mouth are really sore. I...
Yeah peanut butter is good, I used to always eat a huge piece of bread with peanut butter for breakfast every day but I've been trying a gluten free diet (stopped it in the last week but I think I...
Thank you. I will. Does anybody else feel really, really weak after waking up? I think it might be because I get low blood sugar symptoms if I don't eat a lot and I haven't been able to eat much in...
Thanks. The physical symptoms are SO hard to deal with. I've been waking up feeling so weak and it's hard for me to eat enough to shake the feeling because I'm so nauseous. Last night when I went to...
Thanks so much!! Have you had any of the symptoms I've had? It's rough. I never realized my anxiety was so severe but today I got a little stressed out in the afternoon and paid attention to how my...
This is really long but any help would be appreciated. I have been suffering from physical symptoms for a year that are complex and always changing. It started a year ago, I started getting a lot of...
Thanks guys. I've been feeling pretty good lately, hopefully the cycle continues....
I'mdoing a little better lately. I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and when they tell me nothing's wrong it usually frustrates me but she was really reassuring and told me I'm so young and...
Wow, that's really interesting! Have you actually checked your blood sugar? It's so confusing because mine is always in the normal range yet I feel "classic" hypoglycemia symptoms, and it's getting...
Thanks guys. Have either of you had hypoglycemia symptoms due to anxiety/panic disorder? That's the most debilitating and frustrating symptom I have....
Sorry this is so long but I really, really appreciate anyone who reads and gives input! I just turned 22 and I have been plagued with the craziest symptoms for going on a year. I have had anxiety to...
Thanks. I refused to believe a CFS diagnosis for a long time because I didn't feel very tired, and I still don't usually feel THAT tired (I do sleep a lot though)... I think I will try cutting out...
I've been here before, thought I had lyme over the summer but had a negative test and kind of put it out of my mind. Then I found out the tests can be negative even if you have it and people keep...
I'm about to turn 22, and my problems started right after I turned 21. Started with some spells of fatigue and nausea, then in April I came down with some kind of viral infection... might have been...
Well, it seems like my blood sugar is 100% normal so I'm not sure what to do at this point because the symptoms are still really bad....
Thanks. I think I might be having reactive hypoglycemia. I'm planning on buying a blood sugar meter tonight. I'm not on any medications....
Is it possible to have diabetes or other blood sugar issues with normal blood sugar? When mine has been checked it's been about 103 an hour or so after eating a snack. But I have been having lots of...
Thanks. Is it possible to have major symptoms before the T4/T3 levels get into the abnormal range? And is there anything they can do about it besides just monitor it?...
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like it would be possible to have hyperthyroid symptoms before you go into full-blown hyperthyroidism, right? The way I understand it, your brain can tell your...
Thanks. It's just odd and confusing because when I talk to people in hyperthyroid Facebook groups and other forums, they say I am without a doubt hyperthyroid and a lot of them say it took them a...
Well, turns out you need a referral for every endocrinologist around here and my regular doctor won't refer me. I'm seriously starting to hate all doctors. They see a young person like me who looks...
Nope, no meds yet. They don't think I need them. It's so crazy to be that nearly everyone online says the TSH is really low but doctors think it's fine, even when it's dropped since August. I'm...
Thanks, I have wondered the same thing. Do you think a good endocrinologist would check them? I'm going to try to call tomorrow and get an appointment....
I have not been diagnosed with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance and my blood tests were normal. However, I have a lot of digestive issues and ongoing health problems so I decided to try cutting...
I don't know if all my symptoms are thyroid related but I feel like crap. I'll start by saying my TSH is 0.34 with a range of 0.45-4.5, my free T4 is 1.4 with a range of 0.8-1.8, and my total T4 is a...
I hope I'm still welcome since I haven't been officially diagnosed, but I'll share my story. My name is Lindsay and I'm 21, almost 22. I started having lots of crazy symptoms after going through a...
I hope everyone has a happy New Year. I have to say, 2012 was the worst year of my life. I learned some life lessons, though. I hope 2013 will be better. Still not feeling too great but I've been...
Were you saying that to me or BaltGuy about the symptoms sounding like full-blown Grave's disease? I actually feel a lot better at night, heart palpitations and all. Seems like they're the worst when...
Thanks. I think if I see an endocrinologist and they say it's not a thyroid problem, I will accept the chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia diagnosis. But one of my thyroid levels does indicate mild...
Thanks guys. :) It wouldn't be too big of a deal to me to miss Christmas itself, but it's almost been a year since I've seen my family because of all this and it's starting to make me feel really...
My old thread was about to reach 100 replies so I made another. Haven't been on for a couple weeks so I thought I'd update. I'm feeling a bit of the depression lately because I'm missing out on...
I know I just started a thread a little while ago but I have different lab results now. My calcium is back to normal so I am no longer concerned about that. I think taking magnesium might've helped...
The main hyperthyroid symptoms I have are fatigue, feeling more awake and better at night, IBS-like symptoms, need to eat every 2-3 hours, and bad anxiety. Got a call today about my bloodwork from...
According to Endocrine Web I have 17/22 of the hyperthyroid symptoms listed. My levels are in the "normal" range but much closer to hyper. I also have a high calcium level. It was 10.4 in June and...
I haven't felt up to getting up and driving there. I stay very tired until late afternoon and the doctor's office closes at 4. I'm going to try on Monday. I'm having some IBS symptoms and also some...
I think I might have IBS. I wake up every morning with a very urgent need to go. I sometimes pass long strings of mucus. When I'm stressed I go several times daily. I get gas pains so bad sometimes I...
Still feeling worse than I have in a long time. I literally cannot take anymore of this....
Well, I ended up getting the apartment and I am thrilled about that but the stress has me feeling very sick. My body can't handle stress anymore... I'll get hopped up on adrenaline for a little while...
It's been a pretty bad day, just a big slap in the face reminding me what I can't have/do because of my health problems. I looked at an apartment (I'm trying to move because I'm still worried about...
Just checked, the one I have on paper was for free T4, it was 1.44 with a range of 0.82-1.77. So it must've been the total that was borderline high at the other lab....
