Bone loss, which is associated with overt but not subclinical hyperthyroidism, may occur in 10 to 20% of patients. This may be due to an increase in bone remodelling and a decrease in bone density, and increases fracture risk. It is more common in postmenopausal women; less so in younger women, and men. Bone disease related to hyperthyroidism was first described by Frederick von Recklinghausen, in 1891; he described the bones of a woman who died of hyperthyroidism as appearing "worm-eaten".<ref>{{cite web | last=Miragaya | first=Joanna | title=Preventing 'Worm-eaten Bones' From Hyperthyroidism | website=Medscape | date=31 July 2023 | url=https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/994801}}</ref>

Neurological manifestations can include [[tremor]]s, [[Chorea (disease)|chorea]], [[myopathy]], and in some susceptible individuals (in particular of Asian descent) [[Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis|periodic paralysis]]. An association between thyroid disease and [[myasthenia gravis]] has been recognized. Thyroid disease, in this condition, is [[autoimmune]] in nature and approximately 5% of people with myasthenia gravis also have hyperthyroidism. Myasthenia gravis rarely improves after thyroid treatment and the relationship between the two entities is becoming better understood over the past 15 years.<ref name="pmid16840920">{{cite journal | vauthors = Trabelsi L, Charfi N, Triki C, Mnif M, Rekik N, Mhiri C, Abid M | title = [Myasthenia gravis and hyperthyroidism: two cases] | language = French | journal = Annales d'Endocrinologie | volume = 67 | issue = 3 | pages = 265–9 | date = June 2006 | pmid = 16840920 | doi = 10.1016/s0003-4266(06)72597-5 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |first1=Rong-hua |last1=Song |first2=Qiu-ming |last2=Yao |first3=Bin |last3=Wang |first4=Qian |last4=Li |first5=Xi |last5=Jia |first6=Jin-an |last6=Zhang |title=Thyroid disorders in patients with myasthenia gravis: A systematic review and meta-analysis |journal=Autoimmunity Reviews |issue=10 |date=October 2019 |volume=18 |doi=10.1016/j.autrev.2019.102368 |pmid=31404702 |s2cid=199549144 |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autrev.2019.102368 |access-date=2024-01-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Zhu Y, Wang B, Hao Y, Zhu R |title=Clinical features of myasthenia gravis with neurological and systemic autoimmune diseases |journal=Front Immunol |date=September 2023 |volume=14 |issue=14:1223322 |doi=10.3389/fimmu.2023.1223322 |doi-access=free |pmid=37781409 |pmc= 10538566}} </ref>
