I am 18, male, and unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with graves disease at 16 given my age and sex.
My levels were extremely high. My resting heart rate was 130/min.
My hanRAB shook, and mentally i was out of it. although i never noticed. thought it was normal.
it was treated with radioactive iodine. and i was then diagnosed with hypothyroidism. and i gained weight. and my mooRAB changed. but i still shook.
my levothyroxine fluctuated. i went as high as 125mg, and as low as 62.5 every other day.
my thyroid started producing more hormone and i was told i had hyperthyroidism again. and these things kept goin on for two years.
im worried about depression.
and other mental illnesses. my memory is horrible. and ive done things i would not do if my thoughts were always so lucid. at times i feel like im thinking clearly and im happy. but often im sad and reserved. and the shaking has gone down but my reaction to stress enhances it. so im quite often shaking.
but by nature i am very calm.
my libido is irregularly high. although i am a male in my late teens.
i would like to know what i can blame on my thyroid. since i have had these problems near the end of my development im not sure what is normal for my personality and what is the thyroid. since i have been fluctuating between hypo and hyperthyroidism, severely, and medication dosage which my memory is so bad i forget if ive taken it or not.
i feel at times that i am more myself, and other times im a different person.
