Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Ive been hyper before, I had Graves once-upon-a-time (I-131).... and this WAS one of my symptoms back then... quick to become REALLY angry, and way out of proportion to the situation. Its a rage almost, that once it starts I could really go on and on until I had a heart attack (it feels). Heart pounding, short breath, shaking...) This is THE ONLY symptom I have of hyper, but I have ALL of those horrid symptoms of hypo. (I self adjusted to to 150mg of armour without my docs OK, from 120 mg. I had been on 150 (I think) of synthroid before. Does this really ugly anger sound like a hyper thing... or just more crap/another day? Ive experienced this about three times in the last week and a half or so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Sounds like adrenal to me. Inability to handle stress= poor adrenal function. Yes anger is one way to express poor tolerance for stress, I have done it several times myself when I was increasing meds. I never knew at the time what caused it, but as my adrenals caught up to the increase in thyroid meds it went away. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next. " They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 HMMM I wonder if that could be the reason behind the temper I had when I was younger. Until I turned 19 I weighed 98 pounds and ran like a derailed freight train. More energy than I had a right to have on 4 hours or less sleep a night. I am convinced I was very hypo then. But don;t make me angry then! I tried to shoot one boyfriend, shot off six rounds at him for taking a kick at my cat! Didn't even connect and I misses with 6 shots cause I was shaking so bad and couldn;t see through the temper tears! I also swung a shovel at a guy's head for trying to kick another of my cats... lesson here, don't mess with my kitties! I only once got mad over myself and that one (another e X boyfriend) wore a marble cutting board over his head right to the floor for a half hour he was out. See now why I am single? LOL Heck if I married any of them I would be in jail for murder.. Yes I know what a thyroid rage is...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 what you are talking about when hyperT/Graves is very lovingly referred to 'Graves Rage' and it is not a good thing! lol. Just ask my hubby! He was on the receiving end of at least one good Graves Rage rampage I had. I have a pretty nasty temper, but this was like nothing I'd ever experienced in my life. It was so bad, all I could think of was getting the gun out of my dresser drawer. I called my oldest son instead and talked to him. If not for that, I shudder to think what could have happened. I had one agenda that night, and that was impressing upon dear hubby that I 'meant business'. It almost cost me to yank one of my co-workers up from behind her desk too. I saw nothing but red, and I was just blinded. If I had made the mistake of putting my hands on her, I'd have been on the 6 o clock news, cuz I'd have not turned her loose till she was not breathing. I don't miss those days at all. I still have a temper, but it is nothing like when I got sick with hyperT/Graves. It was uncontrollable and you never knew when it was going to come out. Like one night when a lady in a nice shiney new car cut in front of me to get a parking space at walmart. I'm not even going to admit what I did. Under normal circumstance, I wouldn't have done anything, but maybe call her an ugly name and go about my business. My son was so stunned he could not believe I did what I did.They were all quite glad at work and at home that I got on atd's and calmed down a bit. It could come on at the drop of a hat. I am referred to at work as the 'pit bull', but I work with women who take random acts of kindness as stupidity, and that ends up coming back to bite them when they don't expect it. SandyE~Houston quick anger=hyper on armour?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 When I wrote and listed my symptoms to a few on this list anger/rage was one of the symptoms I forgot to list. But . . . I cannot stress enough how that was alleviated by doing oral chelation, and then cleansing my bowels and my gall-bladder/liver. Before starting with broad spectrum supplementation in the 1980's, I used to pick up things and throw them. When I would spank my kids I would go overboard, surprisingly I never bruised them physically, but mentally would be another story. I was out of control. I would slap their faces at the slightest provocation. The anger didn't make me feel good about myself, certainly I would have preferred to be without it. But . . . it was there. After doing the above cleansing and supplementation I have to be pushed very hard before I lose it. My son said to me, about a year ago when he was suicidal, that I never get angry anymore. After six year of dealing with his depression and repeating his problems over and over again, I must admit to allowing more anger, but still nothing like I was before. Quick Quick to anger and just as quickly over it. I have been slack in doing what I know will help me get back to a better standard of foundational health. But I tell you the following from what I have experienced. Please know that I have places that I buy supplements and herbals from and I could be after you to sign up in my downline, but that is not what this about. I don't have any downlines in these companies. All I am doing is telling you what has worked for me in the past and you can find the supplements or herbals wherever you can find them. So my suggestion again for those who can take supplements is to start out with a good broad spectrum supplement so you are not fragmenting. Find one that you can tolerate whether it be tablets, capsules, powder or liquid. Oral Chelation would be my choice to start. Then do some of the cleansing and get your main building blocks in place. Even with the problems I am facing today I know that I will respond quickly to new therapies because of the supplementation and cleansing that I have done in the past.

Can I ask what product you used, and how you use it, (how often, etc) for this cleansing? Ive always worried that I couldnt mix certain things with my thyroid meds... but have thought about it. What thyroid meds are you on, Armour? ALSO, iS CHELATION JUST A VITAMIN/SUPPLEMNET? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never done either to any extent. I ma getting VERY healthy again especially mentally. My brain fog and temper tantrums are behind me!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 The only time I ever threw anything out of anger was when I had Graves. I'm super mellow now that I'm hypoT. I wonder what I'll be like when my thyroid is properly dosed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
