I also have a goitre...small but I can see/feel it. My thyroid is not producing enough T3 or 4...not sure which, so it works overtime to compensate and has caused a goitre. Viv |

Christine - I ended up in hospital - very ill end of November 2003 they also said I had been ill for a long time before. In fact had been complaining to doctors for at least a year before but they said it was the dreaded change!!! |

I had overactive thyroid some years ago. You must persist in telling your GP and Consultant Endocrinologist about your lack of sleep. They should be able to help. Hilary |

Vera, I had an over active thyroid when i was about 21,but sadly had reverse symptoms,slept for about 4 weeks only waking to take tablets. put ON 2 stone etc etc. took a few years lots of different pills and two lots of radio-active treatment to sort out. then had the cheek to come back as soon as i had my son. that was eight years ago though and i have been all clear for the last five. not much help to you though, sorry, Nicky.x |

Thanks Hilary - I have been offered sleeping pills which I dont want to take I just feel that the doctors dont really listen perhaps I need to be more forceful in getting what I want!! |
