Hello there from Dublin,!
I’ve been on carbimazole for Graves Disease for 1.5 years. I know symptoms vary for different people but my main symptom was I couldn’t sleep. I’m on carbimazole now and sleep ok, when I’m not pre menstrual, on my period or for the few days after my period has ended. For those time I also feel flattened and sick as well as headaches and diarrhoea, not to mention feeling down. I have to drag myself around. Also heavy periods. This is really affecting every aspect of my life. As am mid 40s and am now on HRT as hoped it will solve the problems but It doesn’t help much.
My GP says he can’t help. And I’ve been unable to find a GP who has an interest in thyroid and fertility.
Has anyone else in this community had dreadful periods and PMT since being diagnosed with Graves (or in carbimazole)? Or am I the only one who thinks there’s a connection between the two? I’d love some supper with this.
Yours truly
