Mods if you could give this a day in this forum before moving it to the medical forum I really appreciate it.
Briefly, I've been experiencing some really bizarre health problems for about 5 months now. In decemember a primary car physician diagnosed me with type II diabetes. Even with diet changes my symptoms have actually gotten worse so he referred me to an endocrinologist. The endo looked at the twice daily blood glucose checks I've done for two months and decided I dont have diabetes.
He did a thyroid check and discovered mine is releasing too much. The ocassional "spells" I've been having for 3 years now, which I thought were panic attacks, are actually thryroxin (sp?) surges. My heart gallops up to over 200 bpm for a 30 to 60 seconds. Since mid Jan now I pretty much always feel like I've just drank a large pot of very strong coffee. My hands tremble constantly and am always either hot or freezing, and I cant work out anymore because of my heartrate and general weakness. Now the problem is my endo doesnt know why mine is releasing too much, so he is trying to figure out now to procede. He thinks I have or had a virus that effed up my thryoid, but cannot tell. Only thing he's ruled out is Graves Disease.
My question is does anyone know of someone who've experienced similar issues from a virus of any kind? Also, if you know anyone who lives with thyroid disease and wouldnt mind sharing I would really appreciate it.
thanks.
