I've recently been diagnosed with Graves disease. It causes hyperthyroidism which affects all systems including heart and blood pressure. I am taking medication for this that includes a thyroid hormone blocker and a beta blocker. My heart rate is now in a good range. I'm also being treated for mcas, which means taking high doses of antihistamines, including a 1st generation (so drowsy making). I take lamotrigine for bipolar.

I have used macro doses (7gm) of liberty caps for depression for many years before these treatments and have been depression free for several years. The last month though, it had come back with a vengeance and I feel like I need to dose. I can stop the antihistames but not the lamotrigine (though this one doesn't interact) or the graves meds, and it's not just the meds, it's tripping with Graves sensible.

I don't know why I'm asking since none of you have doctorates in hyperthyroidism in psilocybin dosing. I think I need someone to tell me it's a dumb idea. I'm just so low.

Edit spelling

I've been taking 150mg daily for at least one year for bipolar, with good effect, but the last month my mood has got lower and lower and lower. I'm seeing my consultant on the 22nd and I'm guessing she'll want to up the dose, but I don't want to just keep upping the dose of it's going to keep plateauing. It's our normal to change doses throughout treatment?

My son moved into a new build flat a few weeks ago. Ever since he has had flickers and kind of judders on apps across all of his devices. Even his headphones are playing up. I wondered if it could be something in his flat and thought maybe the heatpump. Google says it's rare but not impossible. Has anyone had any interference from their heatpump?

Wales, I've been asked to complete a review. I switched banks on the 18th so there aren't any statements available for last month (now closed account) & this month (not long enough to produce a statement). How do I get around this? Thanks.

I was diagnosed and started on carbimazole and bisoprolol three weeks ago. For the last few days I've felt increasingly pmt-like, but my period is not due for 16 days and I don't ordinarily get pmt. Today though I woke up absolutely fuming. The dr told me about rage but rage wasn't ever one of my symptoms though I had terrible anxiety. My pulse is 84. I also feel like the world is off, as though there aren't enough frames per minute and everything is jarring, if that makes sense. I also used to have episodes where I felt I was in a simulation and I feel the same now. Does this happen on meds, that you get different symptoms? Could my levels be high even though the bisoprolol is keeping my pulse down? I am overheating and have a headache. I honestly could punch someone in the face right about now.

I was diagnosed a week and a half ago. I don't have access to my labs. I understand now that tsh, t3, & t4 are measured (I think, and something called tRAB?). Anyway, when I was in with the Dr she showed me a set of results on the computer. She said last year it was 12 & the recent blood levels were 37. Does anyone know what these levels would have been referring to?

I have a 15 year old terrier cross. He has never been particularly food oriented but maintained a good weight. Over the last few months I've noticed his spine is more obvious, which I assumed was age related muscle wastage. In the last few days he's seemed hungrier. He usually has half a small tray of scrumbles wet food with some chopped chicken on top twice a day, a few treats, and has access to biscuits but doesn't usually eat many but I don't know if that's because he doesn't have many teeth. Tonight I've given him the whole tray because he was eating biscuits, and he ate the lot. Is this a thing in old age? I would've thought the opposite would happen?

Cat brought a youngish rat in. It's under my bed, where it's moved from under the drawers in the corner. Cat can't get it. Have tried to catch it and tried to push it out with a broom handle. I'm chronically ill so cannot vacate the room or do any heavy lifting. Have put a baited trap under the drawers. If I call pest control will they come and catch it or just put a trap down? Fine time to be without a dad or a husband or a really butch wife.

Diagnosed yesterday. Took 10mgs of carbimazole at 6:30pm. Had terrible diarrhea until about 11 which was fixed with loperamide. It's now 3am. I have a headache (not unusual but feels different) and my throat is thick and scratchy. I know the warnings about wbc being lowered, but surely I can't have picked up an infection in my bed in 8 hours? I don't think I have a temperature. I don't know whether to call the Dr's first thing but I don't want to be a baby. Has anyone else had this? I know you're not medics but any related stories?

I don't really have a special interest. Except TV. I have 5 shows that I like to watch over and over (4 US, 1 UK). I found a new one - law & order svu. It takes me truce as long, sometimes more, because during the episode I'm searching out the cast, especially other actors from the same New York acting pool that I recognise from my other shows. I also search producers and so on. I am infatuated with the lead character played by Mariska Hargitay and her real life work, family, and her organisation. I was on season 18 episode 8 when my not-precisely-lawful TV app went rogue. They have filmed 27 seasons. Now it won't play any seasons and I've done all the tech fixes and contacted the admin. I'm crying right now because I've lost my show. And I'm crying right now because I'm a 48 year old woman crying over a TV show 😭😭😭 ETA: Thank you for all your responses. I don't feel weird now. And best of all.... app admin responded to my query and the server got fixed so I GOT MY SHOW BACK!!!

Started ketotifen about three weeks ago. This was added to famotidine and fexofenadine. Some of my symptoms reduced drastically (asthma, burning lungs, itching and burning skin, pounding heart, screaming early hours headaches, feeling like I'd just got out of a washing machine, insomnia, etc). Now though, I constantly feel like I've got the flu. My legs shake if I do anything even slightly strenuous. I'm constantly crying because I feel so ill and can't do anything, even when I'm not fatigued. Also, the early hours headaches have come back, though not as severe. I know I need to wait 12 weeks to measure the effect of ketotifen so there's no point going back to the Dr's until then. Is this my life now? Is there anything else I can do?

It's 2:23pm. I had planned to do the weekly food shop (delayed already due to a flare triggered last weekend) & go to the library, after I had walked my dog. My dog had, again, the shortest walk possible and I cancelled everything else. I have plants in trays in the garden waiting to be planted as I bought them yesterday but just going to the garden centre meant I had no energy to plant more than four plugs. It's not looking like they will get planted today. I have experienced fatigue before, in flares, where I've felt heavy and like I couldn't lift my limbs. But usually I just feel lazy. I'm sure if I got up and started doing something I'd feel better and it would be fine. I do still feel a little flu like but I'm much better, though I had diarrhea, nausea, burning skin, and a headache first thing. Is this fatigue or am I making excuses for my laziness? My pain psychologist wants me to pace, because I over exert when I have energy, but am I to do nothing at all because I'm a bit tired? What does fatigue feel like for you? ETA: I have just planted the remaining plugs and watered them. My whole body, especially my legs are now shaking, my lungs are burning, and I'm way overheated.
