How was it determined that you have hyperthyroidism? What were your labs? I remember having those exact same symptoms and it turned out in the end that i had Hashimoto's (Hypothyroidism) Disease.

To be honest I'm not even remotely sure what they tested, other than it was a blood draw. They did say one of my numbers was borderline, but nothing they feel they need to treat. Although after reading the sites listed here, I noticed that even if your levels fall within "normal" ranges, you can still have thyroid issue. Just like not everyone runs 98.6, not everyone feels right at the "normal" levels given for testing. Which was food for thought, I figured as soon as we have insurance again, I'll see a specialist.
I'd give you Karma for the replies but I'm all out already
I can testify to that. My initial TSH was .74, WELL within "normal" range, yet I am hypothyroid. Incidentally, TSH is not measuring your thyroid output. The actual Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, is your pituitary gland. Since I have pituitary damage, my thyroid never received the "signal" to produce from the pituitary which controls it. Thus I have hypothyroid yet a low normal TSH.
