Graves flare up - following on from yesterday ...

In case anyone wants to know what's happening ...

My son will do a finger prick test on me tomorrow

I took the higher dose of 5mg last night (I take my meds at night).

I slept like sh!t woke at 02:00, was awake for hours, had tingling feeling through hands, feet and face, coupled with joints aching, I was cold last night, but hands and feet were hot but put the winter duvet back on which helped a little.

I'm a little breathless when talking, but was like that yesterday, haven't done any exercise this morning, very mild tingling in hands and feet, obviously tired after yesterday and last night, we're going for a little walk shortly to get some fresh air .... heart has increased to 70bpm whilst resting overall, hands and feet are hot (nearly always are since graves) but although the rest of me feels cold to touch, I feel like I am hot under my skin if that makes sense?!

I guess I'll see what my blood tests bring but I believe I am back where I started :( FML!

I’m glad you are having a repeat blood test, to determine if you are having a Graves relapse. I always retest levels when I experience adverse symptoms.
