Description

My name is Vanesa Simmonds and i am 33 years old. In 2019 i was diagnose with Graves Disease or Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid.)  Hyperthyroidism happens when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. This condition also is called overactive thyroid. Hyperthyroidism speeds up the body’s metabolism. That can cause many symptoms, such as weight loss, hand tremors, and rapid or irregular heartbeat.

Hyperthyroidism sometimes looks like other health problems. That can make it hard to diagnose. It can cause many symptoms, including:

  • Losing weight without trying.
  • Fast heartbeat, a condition called tachycardia.
  • Irregular heartbeat, also called arrhythmia.
  • Pounding of the heart, sometimes called heart palpitations.
  • Increased hunger.
  • Nervousness, anxiety and irritability.
  • Tremor, usually a small trembling in the hands and fingers.
  • Sweating.
  • Changes in menstrual cycles.
  • Increased sensitivity to heat.
  • Changes in bowel patterns, especially more-frequent bowel movements.
  • Enlarged thyroid gland, sometimes called a goiter, which may appear as a swelling at the base of the neck.
  • Tiredness.
  • Muscle weakness.
  • Sleep problems.
  • Warm, moist skin.
  • Thinning skin.
  • Fine, brittle hair.

After years of struggling with this condition which even landed me in the hospital my doctor has made the decission to do A Total Tyroidectomy surgery. This is a surgical procedure to remove the thyriod glands.
