Ambulance called, after waitng for 5 hours for the symptoms to pass and they didn't I thought it best to.
My body was going into cramping and spasms and I could not stop them, whole body locking up for a few seconds to a minute sometimes, sweating that much I the leads on each machine would not stick, took lots of normal bloods one came back something to do with muscle weakness, given diazipam and sent home when spasms stopped, obviously very frightend and explanation.
Has anyone else suffered with this, or any ideas,
Still got a few spasms this morning and lost a lot of weight 21lbs in 3 weeks.
Obviously I have been reading stuff on Internet and lots of things have come up like fibromyalgia, stress, lack of T3, eastrogen to much of.
I am sick to death of it all.

Do you have your thyroid test results? Also what meds/supplements are you on? I do not have a lot of knowledge but I had a lot of similar symptoms (minus sweating) on thyroxine. Thyroxine wasn't right for me and I am now thankfully much better on NDT and T3.

Not got any others, what is NDT,
What if there is nothing wrong with my thyroid what if my gp got mixed it and it was just the start of menopause, because I went on thyroxine and hrt at exactly the same time, or are the two blood test different for each.
I think you should consider speaking to your GP and request a referral to an endo who should be able to provide more info re your thyroid. To be honest, I gained most of my knowledge from websites like thyroid UK, stop the thyroid madness, sara gottfried and Izabelle Wentz (thyroid pharmacist). It is unfortunate that it is difficult to get FT3 F=Free) tested on the NHS but still push for it (in my case TSH and FT4 were always fine but when I paid for a private FT3 test it was out of range and contributing a lot to my symptoms - thyroxine made me toxic).
NDT is natural desiccated thyroid and you can find a lot of info re NDT on the websites I have listed below.
All over from head to toe, and makes me cry a lot when it's a bad on there is no pain as such just all joints locking, no tummy pain. Mild headache and slight stiff neck.

Hospital scare
Confused. Again.
How long does reverse T3 last and why isn't it T3 that needs cutting not T4?
