I was diagnosed with overactive thyroid and have been taking 10mg of Carbimazole for approximately 4 weeks, however nothing seems to have changed i still have all symptoms! Do you think i need a higher dose or am i being impatient and eventually symptoms will subside i know it takes a few weeks for meds to work? I also take 40mg of propranolol so that has stopped racing heart palpitations etc! The tiredness is overwhelming i have slept most of Christmas.

View 5 RepliesAches And Pains :: Knee Pain, What's Causing It?
I am a 43 year old male and have been experiencing knee pain for about 5 months now. I didn't really notice something was wrong until December last year when I started going on long country walks and after walking a mile or two, a mild pain started to develop in my right knee, which gradually got worse the more I walked. I would say the pain feels like it's coming from under the kneecap close to the surface of the skin. It's definitely not coming from within the knee bone. I find after sitting down the pain eventually goes away. I can walk fine and don't have any other pain in either knee in general day to day activities. It's only when I start walking long distances that the pain in my right knee comes on. My health in general is good and don't suffer from any health issues. I wanted to see if the knee would improve over the 5 months or go back to normal but it hasn't and has stayed the same since December. Could anyone give me an idea what might be causing this? I have not seen a doctor yet but will now make an appointment first thing Monday morning.

I have been on Carbimazole for only about a month and have started to gain weight. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at Easter and am seeing the endocrinologist tomorrow. I am coming off the stuff as I'd rather be dead than fat and will tell him that. I'm 51 and work in the media. Weight gain could cause me to lose my job and it's just out of the question to be overweight. People in my industry are being made redundant everyday and my job is really at risk.

MY GP recently prescribed Atorvastatin to deal with high(ish) cholesterol. I have been taking Amlodipine, Losartan and Bezafibrate without any problems but in the past 3 weeks since starting the statins I feel like crap - Nausea, muscle pains, kidney pains and total lack of energy.
The blurb with the statins indicated there could be problems with Amlodipine but I started taking them.
Carbimazole :: After Hysterectomy - On HRT
Off to Endo tomorrow to see what they say, I was wondering if anybody is taking Carbimazole with HRT. Had complete hysterectomy last year so taking HRT and just wondering if this has anything to do with my over active thyroid, a few people spoke to know of women who have had hysterectomy and gone on to have OA thyroid.
View 1 RepliesCarbimazole Or Radioiodine?
I started on carbimazole about 3 weeks ago after being diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. I was ok at first, but have now developed a bad throat (not sore as such, but dry and tickly - very irritating). The meds say that you should see your doctor immediately if you get these symptoms, so I am now also on antibiotics which don't seem to be helping. I'm also quite achy, and even climbing a flight of stairs seems to take a lot of effort. Should I be worried?
It's all very annoying as I have taken such good care of myself recently, losing 2 and 1/2 stone and eating really well. All in preparation for trying to get pregnant, and I'm now unsure how well that is going to go. I know overactive can affect your fertility, but I don't know how all the drugs will have an effect (or be harmful if I do get pregnant). Unfortunately, the doctor appears to be completely disregarding this aspect of my life and is not offering any advice. Still waiting to see the specialist - maybe he/she will be more helpful.
I'm also concerned I spend 18 months on this drug and it doesn't help. Wouldn't I be better getting the radioiodine and putting off trying to get pregnant for 6 months to a year since at least I will have some certainty over the outcome of the radio?
Carbimazole :: Levothyroxine And Acne
I've had mild acne for a few years now but it never used to bother me as using dermalogica would clear up outbreaks. Since I started taking Levothyroxine and Carbimazole my spots just don't seem to go away. They're just small red bumps with no pus and it's driving me crazy.
It's killing my confidence. I have a noticeable goitre and now these constant spots on my face. Has anyone else had this problem with thyroid medication?

View 3 RepliesCarbimazole :: Weight Gain
I have today been diagnosed for the 2nd time with an overactive thyroid.
The first was about 6 years ago and I was put on 25mg of Carbimazole a day. Unfortunately my weight went from a 12 1/2S to 16st once I started the tablets. I took the decision to stop them as I suffered from some of the side effects and my white blood cells were being affected. Since stopping the tablets my weight has gone down (from 16st to 9st) and people say I look great.
I have been told today that I should restart the tablets as my T4 is now instead of the norm of 10 to 25 gone up to 70. I am worried that if I start the tablets my weight will go up very quickly. I have all the symptoms, shaking hands, lump in the throat, can't stand heat etc.
Having been in this situation before I am very worried and not sure what to do even thought I have told my doc my concerns re weight gain.

View 3 RepliesCarbimazole :: Weight Gain
This is my second time on carbimazole, my first was about four months after the birth of my son, i had the racing heart and heat intolerance and other symptoms but mostly of underactive thyroid and i too gain two, three stone. My doctor did more bloods and my levels had returned to normal so my doctor took me off them. Recently I've been feeling quite unwell so decided to go docs for bloods and was quite shocked to find my thyroid had gone overactive again but all my symptoms point to underactive thyroid, feeling exhausted, aching muscles, one and a half stone weight gain, my doctor has never known anyone put weight on, which i thinks is the worst problem after losing three stone I'm almost back to square one again, an really fed up with it an feeling so shattered aren't we meant to be full of life. My doctors not the best and not very helpful just told me i would stay on them a lot longer as I'd had it before, do people stay on them for life or can the carbimazole correct it for good, don't have much info on overactive thyroid.
