Common Questions and Answers about Graves disease and nausea
graves-disease
my symptoms include insomnia,severe fatigue,anxiety,bouts of depression,poor concentration,memory loss,bruising easily,dizziness,nausea and graves rage and weakened immune system (sick often). the problem is that i've recently had a blood test that read normal at 5.1 but i still suffer badly with all of these symptoms.
i always thought that these were caused by the hyperthyroidism and would ease up or even cease when i stabolised my thyroid. is this normal?
d with Graves in March 2006. I have been on MMI(methimazole) for 2.8 yrs. I started off on 30 mgs. and went very very hypo right away. I have gained 38 pounds in 2.8 years and feel dreadful. When dx'd my TSI was 243 <129. My FT4 for was 1.86(.8-1.85) and FT3 was 2.60 <2.00. I really never had very high FT's. They have always stayed low but my TSH has been low forever. I think I have many blocking antibodies because of my TBII is 31% <16%.
I have Graves disease, diagnosed two months ago. I had a lot of problems with nausea at the beginning.. I also experienced hunger attacks that are more intense now. It is more than a hunger, it is a life-force that makes me to eat even when I don’t have appetite I was on Methimazole 30 mg for 7 weeks and now, 2 weeks ago reduced to 10mg when my T3, T4 and TSH felt into normal range ( August 16).
TSH <0.05 ( 0.35-5) still low
Free T3 5.1 ( 3.5-6.
I was Diagnosed and Treated with radioactive Iodine for Graves Disease in the Fall of last year. Since then I have been battling hair loss, weight gain, muscle cramps and extreme tiredness. I recently in May went on the synthroid but haven't had much change except for the muscle cramps have reduced. My question is though, how does taking synthroid effect your periods.
Her symptoms have been racing heart, hand sweats, light-headedness, fatigue, weight loss, intermittent vomiting and nausea,and abdominal pain at times. She had a full CBC in late November which showed a TSH of 0.113.
Her symptoms remained, and now her full thryoid bloods are as follows: T3- 473, TSH- 0.011, Total T4->15.0.
She is only 19 years old and scheduled for an RAIU and ultrasound. My Dr. is baffled by the vomiting and nausea. Any thoughts/suggestions?
You need a second opinion.
Based on what you describe, you have autoimmune thyroid disease with markers for Graves' (TSI) and the other common antibodies (TPO and Tg) that are usually associated with hashimoto's. Graves' and Hashi should be considered as entities on two ends of a spectrum, not two completely different diseases.
This may cause fluctuating thyroid function to hypo and hyper and back but this is not common.
My mother was diagnosed in her early 40s with graves disease and her thyroid was removed, around the same time she was diagnosed with stage 3-4 colon cancer. I'm aware there are connections between autoimmune diseases and thyroid and intestinal diseases/conditions. As I'm getting older I'm noticing I'm following in the same physiological footsteps my mother did before she was diagnosed.
I have graves disease, but was in remission. Then I had cancer and chemotherapy. My TSH level is hyper again and my other tests normal. The doctors won't say if chemo can activate your graves disease. They do say that a physical or emotional change to my body can trigger it. My thoughts, Cancer and chemotherapy are big time physical and emotional changes.
19 year old son was getting hives mainly at night. Diagnosed with Graves disease a couple weeks ago and on meds now. is this normal with graves?
They have removed me off of my medicine one time to see if my Graves disease had went into remission and within two months it came back with TSH levels of 0.003...basically non-existant TSH levels. They put me back on my 10mg Methmazole and within 3 weeks my levels were normal. That is pretty much a health summary of my graves disease for the past five-six years lol.
Recently I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism due to Graves disease, I experienced the symptoms of nausea, rapid heart beat (over 100) anxiety and panic attacks. I had to stop working due to my symptoms. While I stayed at home I started to feel better, experiencing only discomfort due to heart beat for only few times a day. At that time my endo didn’t prescribe my any thyroid medicine as I was supposed have thyroid uptake scan prior it.
In the U.S. doctors are required, by law, to provide a copy of lab or test results, upon request. I have every one of mine, since about 1999. I use my thyroid test results as a running record of my disease. On each report, I mark my med and dosage, along with any symptoms I was having at the time. If I am symptom free, I know those are the numbers I need to target.
What are the reference ranges for the results? Ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report.
It should be pointed out that, especially in the US literature, the term ‘hashitoxicosis’ is sometimes used to describe an autoimmune thyroid disease overlap syndrome of Graves’ and Hashimoto’s disease.2 In this article the term is strictly limited to the ‘leakage’ symptoms of active Hashimoto’s disease."

I've had both Hashi's and Graves antibodies simultaneously but I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis previously.
Graves Disease is an Autoimmune Disease and usually when one autoimmune disease is found, there is usually a 2nd one found (this one being Diabetes).
The Graves and Hyperthyroidism can be treated by either anti-thyroid meds or pernmanant treatment which will eventually stablaise the Diabetes although this is extremely hard if the Diabetes has been undetected for a long time.
And something to watch for is ...Metformin can interefer with thyroid medications.
I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease which is an autoimmune disease associated with ur thyroid. I have noticed that I'm needing more pain meds than normal to relieve my pain. My question is, does this disease affect the relief I am supposed 2 be receiving from my normal dose? Basically, does my pain meds need to be increased or does my thyroid affect the digestion process of the meds?
Graves is an autoimmune disease and unfortunately for life. Controlling whether they raise or suppress is key to beating the symptoms of the disease.
If you are on Levo now - your labs must be abnormal and now lean towards hypoT levels. You would feel like cr@p right now with the swinging patterns you have been on.
"Once Graves.... always Graves" is the saying here. But I am positive your endo or ???
