Avatar n tn I have had steroids for my eyes and and tapazole nothing has worked. I have toxic nodoles along with Graves disease. I have changed my diet and tried different things what do you suggest. I'm not sleeping, I have gained most of my weight back with increased heart beat. What can I do.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn How were you treated for Graves Disease? Are you now hypo? Are you on thyroid replacement hormones? If so, which ones, what dosage and for how long have you been on it? It's possible that you need to increase your med dosage, if you aren't losing weight. Typically, when thyroid hormone levels are adequate weight will come off. If you have current labs you could post, that would be helpful for us.

572651 tn?1530999357 The most recent book by Montel Williams discusses how he feels so much better eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and organic too. He also takes many supplements. This "whole foods" approach is supposedly the best dietary approach to chronic disease, though it is very expensive (at least in Delaware) and time consuming as far as food preparation. There is only one problem I have been wondering about.
Avatar f tn I've just been diagnosed with Graves' Disease. I have autoimmune thyroid disease that has changed from being primary Hashimoto's thyroiditis to Graves's Disease. I was diagnosed in 1997 with Fibromyalgia. I also have severe osteoarthritis, especially in both hands. What am I doing wrong? The doctor told me I'm a very strange case. What's that mean?

2000931 tn?1401563007 MS is one tough puppy of a disease and I do believe that I have MS with MRI and O bands to prove it. Unlike all the other people from the research who get well and then 'disappear' for various reasons, I plan to testify as to whether or not the program has worked. I don't expect to be cured. I expect to be 20% better than I was so that means I should be walking.

Avatar m tn In my 25+ years of dealing with this disease I have tried everything out there and the only thing that worked for me was seeing a specialist and having the disease cut out of my body...diet is important but if your endo is advanced best to see the specialists! Good luck!
Avatar f tn Hypothyroid exhibits both Grave and hashimoto symptoms. Have you tried the nutritional and anti- inflammatory diet and supplements.

Don't give up hope. you can reverse this disease IA.
