I noticed I first had a problem in January and February when I almost passed out teaching Gospel Doctrine class at church. I would get so hot up there teaching and I would be sweating so bad and get really dizzy. After the fourth time this happened to me, I decided to go to the doctor. They did some blood work and it came back and confirmed what the doctor had thought. I have the type of hyperthyroidism called Graves Disease. My overactive thyroid has made me extremely nervous, gives me a fast heart beat, has made it hard to go to sleep and stay asleep, my legs and hands have tremors, I am extremely irritable, and have lost about 10 pounds.
After 1 and 1/2 months of appointments I finally went to the hospital this weekend to get my thyroid killed with radioactive iodine treament. My thyroid should be starting to slow down in about 6 weeks and this all should be sorted out in the next 6 months. I am ready for things to start to get better.
