Avatar n tn The medical community seems to be happy with treating the symptoms and not looking for the causes - big pharma would lose money if many causes for disease were found. The leading thyroid association voice for Dr's is almost invisibly owned by the makers of Synthroid (hypo T4 med). So were srcewed from the start.
Avatar n tn Has your doctor told you, you have Graves Disease? Yes, your TSH is extremely low and your FT4 is extremely high, indicating that you are hyper, but your antibody tests indicate Hashimoto's. TSI is the definitive test for Graves Disease and I don't see that listed. Have you been put on antithyroid med?
Avatar n tn I have been going to an Endocrinologist for almost 1 year. He has done several ultrasounds showing that I have 5 tumors on my thyroid. I have a biopsy which showed they were benign. I recently had another ultrasound which showed one of the tumors had shrunk but another one appeared.
Avatar n tn If you don't mind. I see you posts starts out as Graves Disease and you are looking for a surgeon? While I would have to do some checking around on this can you post the reason for the removal? - Is it for Graves disease?
1011655 tn?1251599945 I dont know how long you have had your illness for, but my moto is avoid stress at all counts.(I know thats hard) becasuse graves disease causes you to feel anxious, It is not you being anxious , its the disease what causes anxiety symptoms. (Its them nasty raging anti-bodies v hormones) Are you taking any meds for your graves, or are you just trying to ride it out. Your story was one like many thyroid sufferers have to go through. I wish you well, and if i can help you in any way i will.
Avatar f tn I want to ask your opinion on a book called GRAVES DISEASE practical guide by Elaine Moore.And were r you located??
Avatar n tn Question if anyone knows- once Graves eye disease is done is it gone forever? Will the swelling and eye problems come back?
Avatar n tn Oh and I am a 31 year old female with no other health conditions.
110220 tn?1309306861 I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease. No one in my immediate family has had thyroid issues. I have experienced a tremendous amount of stress over the last year. I have read that stress could be a factor with hyperthyroid. While I wasn't thrilled when I learned of my disorder, I was relieved to know that I wasn't going crazy or I wasn't about to die. My resting heart rate 115, I couldn't write, I was nervous and jittery 24 hours a day.
Avatar f tn Something we did not expect was him having Aortic Stenosis. Graves Disease causes numerous symptoms so we thought it was the disease causing his heart problems. He just took the treatment for the Graves so it's going to be a month or so before the treatment starts to show some results. He has another test scheduled next week with an Interventional Cardiologist. I've read alot of material on Graves Disease and Aortic Stenosis, but I have not found any material on having both diseases.
Avatar n tn He was diagnosed with gastroparesis recently. He has a positive small bowel biopsy, intraepithial lymphocytosis. Graves disease runs in the family, paternal grandmother. Please help! He can't go to school and has to quit his beloved soccer. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Selenium helps with thyroid inflammation so this may help with your throat symptoms. Also, in 2011 a study demonstrated that selenium supplementation (200 mcg per day) can slow the progression of eye disease and improve quality of life in patients with Graves' disease with mild ocular involvement (Graves' ophthalmopathy). In supplement form, the most bioavailable form of selenium is L selenomethionine.
Avatar f tn My question is (have not seen and endocrinologist) is it possible that when i had graves disease it caused this problem. My graves disease destroyed my thyroid which turned ino hyperthyrodism. Just curious.
687079 tn?1230948612 can graves disease present as hypothyroid or even euthyroid? asking because i have the eye symptoms and am not responding well at all to my thyroid replacement even a little and i feel extremely hyper, but my endo wont test me because she says graves can only be hyper and thats it....
Avatar f tn Similarly, sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland may develop in response to an established thyroid disorder including Gravesdisease, nodular goiter, and thyroid cancer. Patients with Gravesdisease may also have concomitant conditions of sarcoidosis affecting the lungs. Patients with systemic sarcoidosis may also develop sarcoid lesions in various organs including the thyroid gland.
Avatar f tn "Hypoechoic" means it appears darker on the ultrasound than the surrounding tissue. Hypoechoic when used to describe a single thyroid nodule compared to surrounding tissues has a higher probability of being malignant, however, when the entire thyroid gland is described as hypoechoicit often indicates an inflammatory thyroid disease such as Graves or Hashimoto's. Heterogeneous echotexture is usually found in patients with Graves or Hashimoto's as well.
Avatar n tn Can taking to much synthroid cause Graves disease? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/574071'>Too much synthroid</a>.
Avatar f tn Graves' disease is the name of the autoimmune condition that causes hyperthryoidism. It was first described by a Dr. Graves. It's what causes most hyperthyroidism. If you get the TSI test (simple blood test), they will be able to tell if you have the antibody that indicates Graves' disease. It's good to know what's causing your thyroid to be overactive.
Avatar f tn there is no doubt a link between severe stress and Graves as was suggested in Dr. Graves original findings I understand. From stress of a lost love one to obviously a serious car accidentis nothing less than severe stress and on this is a reoccuring theme. Certainly worth further research if not for concerns like yours but prevention of the onset of Graves possibly.
Avatar f tn 140) Basically, the Endocrinologist told me my results mean I have both Graves Disease and Hashimotos. She is sending me for a uptake/scan and ultrasound of my Thyroid in a month and then I follow up with her in a month and a half. In the meantime I am trying to research these autoimmune disorders and feel overwhelmed. I am confused that I have BOTH, and that I feel lethargic and am experiencing weight gain with a TSH level of 0.00.
