Dry eyes is another symptom.  You may find it difficult to wear contacts anymore because your eyes keep drying out.  I know I did.  It may also seem more difficult to swallow.  As your thyroid becomes overworked it inflames and becomes larger.  Sometimes you can see it on the outside of your throat.  This is sometimes called a goiter.
