Hypothyroidism and hashimotos graves disease

[Sweetpea1157]

Have been suffering with an underactive thyroid and hashimotos for a number of years now . Have recently been told my thyroid was playing up again so my thyroxine was increased too 100mcg from 75mcg every other day i.e take 100 one day 75 the next and so forth . Recently have been getting several problems though , I've been getting swelling in my wrists and ankles along with pins and needles and also feeling like my hands and feet are on fire also hoarse voice and coughing and choking whenever I eat or drink anything

Anyone else had these probs or can anyone advise me on who is should be seeing as my GP seems to be ignoring my symptoms and to be honest they don't have a clue about graves disease 😟😕

Have you been diagnosed with Graves disease? Which antibodies have been tested?

It sounds as though you may be low on Vitamin B12. Ask your doctor if he can test you for that and also check your Vitamin D, folate and ferritin. It's very common for people with thyroid problems to be low in these, however healthily they eat.
