s disease, then still not feeling well, and finally diagnosed with graves disease and vitamin D deficiency. Then came Graves eye disease, not severe and under control. So yes have levels checked, I had only TSH checked in Feb of last year, and it came back in normal range, when i had my physical my tsh was 0.00 so they tested T3 and T4 and they were not normal. Good luck, it is a slow process, and i get depressed about it often, it is not a disease with an easy cure, it is a long battle.
You are taking blood pressure medication that I suspect is contributing to your drop in blood pressure with standing. And both that and the Klonopin can have as side effects light-headedness and dizziness.
The stress test your cardiologist wants to do might prove if your heart is over-reacting to the excercise in an upright position but is not to my knowledge one of the diagnostic tests by which P.O.T.S. is diagnosed.
He indicated that the iodine sensitivity mainly occured in people with Graves Disease. I am classic hypothyroid though after my procedure they ran a TSH and found it low inidcating my thryroid was more stimulated than normal. The Dr. indicated that it takes about 2 months for iodine to get out your system. I really hope this is the cause because the drugs they're giving me to relieve the symptoms just make me so tired!
I recently was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Graves Disease, although my blood test was negative. Four weeks ago I started on thyroid medicine. Looking for answers for this disease, I went to the book store and bought a book titled "Living Well with Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism." In this book it mentions that aspartame can mock the same symptoms of Graves.

Ticks can potentially spread various diseases (eg: Lyme disease) so it's possible you have been infected and this has caused sudden changes in symptoms.
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) are seen in both Hashimoto's and Graves disease. In Graves' disease, the antibody to test for is called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) - sometimes called TSH receptor antibody (TRAb).
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.
I was recently diagnosed with Graves' Disease and Hyperthyrodism by a Naturopath. Here is what my blood results showed:
THS: 12.3
T3 39
T4 12.3
Free Thyroxine Index 4.8
When I had my THS tested last year, it was perfectly normal. I'm confused! Can anyone tell me what this means?

White spots on a brain scan can be from several different factors:
*A natural phenomenon of the brain due to the coating of axon nerve fibers with myelin
*Hardening of small arteries in the brain from high blood pressure, causing a buildup of fluid
*Early onset of a stroke or another neurological condition eg: MS, lyme's disease, lupus
*Vitamin B12 deficiency - leads to demyelination
*Migrane
*Brain injury
*Infectious diseases that have occurred in the past
*Celiac's disea

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.
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.
Some of my symptoms include night sweats even though I am HRT (diagnosed POF at age 17), sore muscles and very stiff hips, shaking hands and body, hair loss, anxiety, angry, trouble sleeping but tired all of the time, hives and itching all over my body, increased appitite and some weight gain, headaches, frequent sinus infections and high blood pressure. I could go on and on.
