Carbimazole and Periods

[nooneimportant]

Hi Guys (well, girls in this instance)

Despite feeling quite old, I'm still apparently young enough for my body to notify me that despite being single and not having sex, I am not pregnant every month - how kind of it?!

Anyway, just came on my period three days early, no biggy, but when hyper they were lighter and slightly longer in between each period (oh this was a symptom of Graves I really really liked :)) however, when I was pushed to the bottom of the reference range they came a little more frequent and heavier again grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

So I've just come on three days early and waiting to see how heavy it will be, I've had quite nasty headaches over the last few days (sometimes get them at this time of month), teeth are sensitive, feeling very cold and tired but persevering - I've not altered medication yet from 5mg Carbimazole 4 times weekly .... no blood tests since August .... so maybe a sign that I've come down again? watch this space ... I'll update 😂

was pretty much as should be so .... fingers crossed we're in a good place

Good to read -

I didn't reply as my Graves didn't rear its head until I was long past periods and around when I was aged 56 - 3 months post being verbally abused and physically threatened by a man I employed as my assistant manager !

yeah I’m still anxious as I dunno I get paranoid that I’m slipping high but also I’m worse when Fitbit watching etc so trying to just let me feel my way through a few bits. Holiday next week so I’ll bookin for tests after that and see if I’ve rocketed or not 😂
