overactive tyroid

overactive tyroid

i was diagnosed with an over active thyroid 2 years ago and came of my medication on my own as i thought the pills were making me gain weight as i have struggled with my weight all my life and losing 2 stn was a blessing that was the last thing i wanted was to gain weight again i have had a very bad cough and a lump at the front of my throat for 2 weeks now iam sick with the coughing every morning iam finding it hard to breath when i go into coughing fits i dont want to go to the doctor he doesnt knw that i have came off my pills. my doctor told me when diagnosed that if i had a cough, sore throat, ulsers in the mouth i should see a doc asap, having the lump at the front of my neck is starting to worry me could the cough be affecting my thyroid glan?

  I have been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid this week. I feel awful, the doctor has given me some beteblockers to help until I see a hormone specialist. I was planning on trying for a baby any time now really so obviously that is out of the question. I feel very sad and now think I wont ever have another child as even if I can I may be too old by then.

Yeah i hear that they were hereditory but know one knows who from!! I have days where i feel really misrable too, i think that is the thyroid tho. Im like a bear with a sore head at the moment. I keep going mental about the smallest things. My poor kids! I feel like im not in control of me at the moment if you know what i mean. Im going back to dox on wed. he gave me betablockers to make me feel a bit better ( i mite have said that the other day!) i still feel bad tho.
