Hi this is my 3rd run with Graves,but this time is very different.my breast became so painful i gained 4 kg plus body swelling, allergies
Welcome to the forum.
Sorry you have had a relapse of Graves and are struggling with symptoms.
What are your blood test results? The following are important.
TSH
FT4
FT3
TPO antib
TGab
TSI or TRab if Graves suspected, presumably these were done when diagnosed?
B12
FERRITIN
FOLATE
VITAMIN D
What medication do you take? Are any of the symptoms caused by the medication? eg the allergies.
I had migraines when I was diagnosed this can cause heightened smell. It can be caused by many conditions. Although I only had visual issues. Only had over sensitive smell when expecting!
Sometimes hypers do gain weight (I did) but if it’s different than previous episodes then it unusual for you.
I don’t know how long you been back on medication? Is there a possibility your thyroid levels have now become too low. How often are you monitored?
Sorry forgot the worst part head Throbbing
Hello Antlove and welcome to the forum :
Can you please give us more information as there is nothing on your profile page :
Have you ever had positive and over range Graves antibodies - generally expressed as a TSI ( roughly translated as a thyroid stimulating ) or a TR ab ( roughly translated as a thyroid receptor blocking ) antibody :
Have your antibodies been tested again now, with this third relapse ?
Have you been put back on an anti thyroid medication like Carbimazole or PTU ?
