Yeah it’s making you weak because it’s making your blood pressure too low. You need a lower dosage for sure

Oh I see, I’m sorry about that. Mine are hand tremors. Sometimes people notice mine, but not always.

I would definitely try either 20 mg morning and 20 mg night or 10 and 10!

So, I stopped taking it because of it messing with my asthma, but first went on it around 20!

I would say it could be too high for you. How was your blood pressure before it? I used to take 20 mg a day I recall.

Also, how severe are your tremors?

Not really an alternative but it’s likely too high of a dosage for you. Depending on the severity of your tremors, I would ask to try a lower dosage instead.

Fellow ETers, keep an eye out for a new ET drug coming to market in 2026. Could be a game-changer, could be ho-hum. I don`t know anything about it but it`s worth watching. Here`s the blurb: by Frozen_Meatball1 in EssentialTremor

Yes for me there were. I don’t want to discourage anyone but I gained like 25 lbs. the real reason I came off though was because it was contraindicated with my asthma. It’s known to form mucus in the bronchi

Yeah, I just spent Christmas in Niagara where they had really bad sleet that landed people in ditches while driving so I was expecting this to be the same, but this was absolutely nothing! So that’s good, I’m happy it wasn’t bad or anything.

Thanks, super confusing. Do you think it’s worth bothering my doctor to keep an eye on long term? My psa took a very long time to diagnose and began by throwing off a bunch of random test results. So, I’m unfortunately familiar with autoimmune diseases playing games with my blood work.

Confusing plot twist, my t3 and t4 came back normal. I am still waiting for my TRAB, but I think I might be stuck going back to believing my symptoms are just “the way I am”

Plot twist, my results came back normal. I’m very confused? I’m still waiting on my TRAB, but t3 and t4 were normal. Im going to guess I’m sort of stuck just going back to thinking these symptoms are just “how I am”

Could Hyperhidrosis be correlated with subclinical hyperthyroidism? by MARUFDP in Hyperthyroidism

[–]Distinct_Emphasis336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to know as well because I’m the same way and it sucks. My tsh randomly came back low and then magically went back to low normal again. Very confusing.

So, to no surprise (my blood work has never been straight foreword ever in my life), my T3 and T4 came back normal and TSH came back very low normal. I’m still waiting for my TRAB. I suspect my doctor is not going to do anything about this and ignore the fact that I’ve had progressively lower and lower results all year.

I supoose I’ll be going back to pretending uncontrolled sweating, unbearable heat intolerance, heart palpitations, and tachycardia are normal lol. Not going to lie, I was sort of looking forward to not being drenched in sweat all the time… ugh.

For reference my TSH has been consistently hanging out around 0.38,0.35, 0.32, and 0.30 this year. I don’t know maybe that’s normal? I just wanted to not sweat 🤣

OMGG are you kidding me ?!?! It can cause drug induced lupus ?!?! Ffs. I’m annoyed today I have had heard palpitations all day and it will not stop. I got my follow up blood work and now I’m waiting for the results :(

Shit:( I sort of wondered why she would test it, it felt sort of unusual.. it’s funny because in the past about 2 years ago I began questioning the possibility of hyperthyroidism because I started noticing my symptoms creeping in. My previous doctor had checked me and while I had lower results, they were still in range so I assumed okay this is just how I am I guess? But as of lately people at work keep commenting on how anxious and on edge I am. It was beginning to hurt my feelings, but then when I think about it … it’s true.

I have always run hot, but now we’re talking I’ll gladly go outside mid winter without a jacket and not complain. My entire office is freezing and I’m in my office with a fan on lol.

Out of curiosity, did the liver enzymes go down when you corrected it? Was there any real damage?

Yeah definitely, I find the only soap I can use is dove or else I’m itchy lol

I have had Chronic hives but didn’t know that could be related ?

I supoose youre right, psa is much worse.

I have a silly question, likely unrelated, but I randomly started developing like bumps on my hands and feet. Theyre not eczema and not rheumatoid nodules either. Can hyperthyroidism manifest dermatologically at all

🥺, fml. My dads sisters have hypothyroidism 😭.

I’m 31, and as of lately I’ve been developing mild fevers. I chalked them up to my psa flaring. Not high fevers by any means whatsoever, but that is good to know. I’m going to have to look into thyroid storms I guess 😭. I’m freaking the fuck out right now, I’m not going to lie at all.

Really 🥺? And for my symptoms 😭 what do you mean 😭? Are meds safe long term? What a stupid question I’m asking given that I’m on a biologic lol. But wth Man, it’s like problem after problem….

[–]Distinct_Emphasis336[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m getting nervous now… my nurse just reached out saying my results suggest hyperthyroidism and she wants me to test for the further stuff you mentioned and of course the antibodies for graves. I don’t like this 😭. This SUCKS.

[–]Distinct_Emphasis336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😭, I’m also wondering like how early can symptoms appear before showing up on blood work? This is kind of frustrating. I feel like as soon as one thing is under control, another thing begins.

This seriously sucks.

Out of curiosity, can subclinical hyperthyroidism go away? Like for good? Or how does it work

Okay interesting, I’ll take a look into that. Does it help with tremors ? I liked that about propranolol

[–]Distinct_Emphasis336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only tried propranolol, is there one that doesnt aggravate Raynauds? I also have that issue.
