So jialat until hands and legs shaking!  Mine was just right hand, very noticeable during mealtimes when my spoonful of food would be shaking its way to my mouth. Resorted to bending down to shovel food into mouth. 

Also thought was Parkinson, went to see neurologist who did thorough examinations & electrical nerve conduction tests.  Blood tests showed high thyroid levels.  Nearly cried with relief that I've got the lesser of 2 evils. 

Refered to endocrinologist for meds. Need to abstain from shellfish, crustaceans & seaweed.

Just rad through the thread and saw this.

This flower also called 曇花 as in  曇花一現  as it blooms only at night and last for a few hours supposedly, thus coining the verb. At home I have 2 pots. Really nice smell when bloom. Used to eagerly anticipate when the bulb got bigger and checking at night if bloom already haha.

While the thyroid condition is under control, eyes have been affected as well. 

I've just undergone one of a series of IV drip sessions today that's to be done over a few weeks.

So far no noticable improvement.. but get to experience the painful poking of needles on my forearm and back of my hand..

Later in the coming weeks for a complementary radiotherapy session to the eyes.. 

Hope it's all worth it. Crossing fingers 🙏

Thanks to TS for the thread and bro Solar for the valuable info. 

The thread is indeed informative and silly me, thought this illness can only happen to female. 

Bro Watwheels' takes was also insightful. Cheers to good health to all.

Mine is Thyroid eye disease, said to be related to the thyroid condition Graves disease earlier on.

While it affects more female, males get this also. I didn't get a conclusive answer from the doc what causes it, but from their questions asked to me, I believe it can be generic or even stress. I don't have family history, so I think stress is a factor.

The body attacks the eye muscles such that it weakens and not able to move the eyeballs properly.. so a result, one eye move lesser than the other, causing double vision.

Eyeball and eye muscles also swell. Need to go for these treatments to stop the swelling or for my case, might press on the optic nerve and affect my vision further. The CT scan confirms that.

Some people delayed treatment and their eyes pop out like frog. Very scary. Mine isn't noticable.. Good thing I discovered early.. 🙏

Wish you a quick recovery.

Haven't heard about this condition before. 

Thanks guys. Also not heard of until I got it. 长知识了

More info via Google

What it don't tell u and u have to get via the doc during the one to one. It'll be taking calculated risks.. like the IV increase risks of diabetes and osteoporosis, and radiotherapy increasing getting cancer by about 1% at the spot that was radioed.

I went for it anyway. 🤞

Honestly i never even heard of these type of treatments until your account. Cos though we see it, usually it is self limiting or reversing once the Grave's is under control

Hope everything works out for you!

Yes bro. The radio is recommended to add-on because they have seen good effects in earlier trials doing it with the IV.

One thing.. the radio isn't getting subsidized unlike the others. Cost about 3k the whole session.
