It has been 9 months since I was first diagnosed with hyperthyroid on November 2005. My carbimazole intake had been reduced from 3 times a day for the first 4 months, and then 2 times for the next 3 months until recently in May 2007, to only once a day.I am advised to take it early in the morning since the effect of the medicine is about 8 hours.Within 9 months I have gained a total of 15 kg from 50 to 65 kg, and I think I should start thinking about dieting before it's too late. Well, this tremendous change in my body weight was due to carbimazole's effect where it combines with my thyroid hormone, thus reduces my metabolism rate.

Generally my health today is ok, except I felt a little bit dry on both of my eyes and some strange taste on my taste bud.
I have told my doctor about these and he said it is normal to have this symptom.
Still taking my regular cabimazole and calcium pill.

Did I tell you that I sweat a lot? I'm not sure whether it is related to hyperthyroid or just a genetic I got from my father. But what I notice my daughter share a same problem too especially after having meal, taking bath and doing some activities. Mine is quite bad where I can really wet the whole shirt, pretty embarassing sometimes!

I was diagnosed with hyperthyrodism on last November 2005 when my brother in-law noticed I was shaking while pouring water into his cup during a festival. But the symptomps of this disease didn't start at that time. As far as I can remember, all the symptomps like fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, nervousness and weight loss had happened to me about 3 years earlier. I had gone to several clinics and medical center to tell the doctors about my problem, but the same answer was given "Go get some rest, and eat well".

Looking at all the symptomps including the one that I had just acquired-tremor, my mother in-law suggested it might be hyperthyroidism. Yeah, she was right and the day when my blood test result came out, the doctor who treated me was quite shocked seeing at my T1 and T4 level--they were 4 times higher than the normal level.

I was then referred to endocrinologist and until now still on carbimazole treatment. I'll try my best to update my health status and hopefully it will bring some goods to other patients.
