Jennifer:

Workload a bit heavy now, condition seems ok, though the Trab count is yet to be normal.

Told hubby I might need to quit work if the Trab count unable to control well.

Hi Jennifer,

Didn't want to sidetrack too much in the vacuum cleaner thread

Yes, TRAB takes quite a while to normalise. Doc said it moves very slowly. She encouraged me to sleep 7 or 8 hours on a frequent basis (but I still didn't). Mine only normalised after 2 or 3 good test results of other items. Don't fret. It will fall into place when the rest have resumed normality. It may be quite discouraging to see the numbers persistently in the red, but it will improve and eventually, it will also become black. Take heart.

I was feeling better earlier.

Now a bit busier, also planning for NZ trip, so sleeping later these days, but body clock auto up early morning :faint:

Whenever I eat a hot bowl of noodle soup, I start to sweat more, 豆大汗珠 drip from the arms and legs

Went for the review this morning. All indexes are normal now. Did not test for Trab this round. Next review is 3 months later, to do the Trab test then.


:xedfingers:

glad to know your thyroid is doing fine. it took about 1 year before mine stabilized.

Oh, were you prone to perspire a lot even before you had hyperthyroidism? Some people have more active sweat glands. I didn't perspire more than I usually did even when I had hyperthyroidism. Just felt unbearably warm/hot. Couldn't wear black. But after I started medication, I no longer feel terribly hot. So it seems a bit strange to me why you are still sweating profusely despite being on medication and your other indexes have generally normalised.

Previously I do not have sweating issues.


Only when I do household chores or eat hot soupy food, then the sweat glands become overly active.



I also started to have sweaty palms.

I see. Let's hope that your sweating issues will go away after your TRAB normalises.

Trab went down to 4+


Doc said must wait till Trab cannot be detected before I can be totally off medicine.

The easily sweating condition could be due to metabolism raised by the thyroid disorder, might go away, might not go away.
