Re: Help, I have a large goiter and HYPERTHYROID
"I am not sleeping because of dry eyes, which he is ending me something for, may be fro menopause. The other reason I don't sleep is because I don't want RAI or surgery, but I keep getting sick and missing work and had to change jobs."
Ok, now we are talking.
Iodine is a part of the eye fluids.
Dry eyes could be an inflammation. Sjogrens syndrom for instance.
Congratulations to have said no to the surgery so far. I was so sick myself. Hyper T; could be a mis-diagnosis, as if you were; you would be flying around doing your chores without problem. I have been hyper a few times myself, and boy, there is energy!! (but also unpleasant symptoms like insomnia and the thoughts racing)
If you are low in energy, low body temp, overweight, palpitations etc. you are HYPO T, my dear.
