Well its been a strange week, went back to docs on monday my levels are high and as guessed my graves disease has returned with a vengeance!!

My doc said straight away about putting me back on block and replace for the 3rd time, i was very concerned as the last 2 times they have blocked my thyroid for months which left me feeling so ill then replaced it, this time however she suggested taking 40mg carbimazole daily to block and after a week start taking 100mg levothyroxine to bring my levels back up.

My heart was beating at 146 beats a minute i had palpitations, felt very irritable emotional unable to cope with any stress, terrible shakes and trembling body,my hubby Darren bless him took the week off work to help me i felt a complete failure!!

In the meantime i caught a chest infection and was put on antibiotics and steroids this certainly didnt help as i coughed so much my pulse went even higher but 2 days later and its all settling down so on advice of my doc can start taking my thyroxine as soon as my chest is better.

Feeling slightly better than last week that was the lowest point i have ever been at and i so dont want to be there again, so fingers crossed this time the block and replace will work this time.

I feel happier today though spent a lovely day with my friends Sallyand John and this really lifted my mood.
