110220 tn?1309306861 If you remember Barbara Bush, she had Graves and if you notice her eyes, they bulge slightly. That is one of the most telling effects of Graves. Once your Graves is successfully treated, the bulging doesn't occur. Your eye doctor will most likely tell you the same thing. I learned that I had Graves while on a tour in Korea. It was treated with radio active iodine that I had to drink. When that wasn't successful I had 95% of my thyroid removed.
393685 tn?1425812522 Add former President George Bush and his wife Barbara. They both had Graves'. Also that runner. . . .what was her name. . . .she had Graves and they made a movie about it. After the Bush's were dx with Graves' back to back in the White House their dog ? was dx with Lupus. They shut down the entire White House and investigated why so many AI's at once, but could find nothing and ruled it coincidence. Milly! That was the dog's name.
Avatar n tn MRI shows degenerative disc disease and a compound fracture from a fall. Have a small scab constantly and now a 3 inch long bruise in the same spot. The bruise is not from my scratching it although it is very itchy. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Thank you very much for your questions; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise opinion here without having seen you in clinic, but I would like to provide you some useful information. Venous angiomas are usually variants in the brain’s normal venous system. Therefore, venous angiomas are very often benign, but few of the patients have associated with other brain malformations that carry symptoms of headache & seizures.
296076 tn?1371334474 Well joy asks her guest if it is necessary for lady gaga to wear all those crazy outfits and her guest says, do you really want to see more bush era pop stars? And joy said something snide about bush. So apparently, among everything else the left blames on Bush we can also credit the 00's pop stars to him... is there any sense on the left side of the spectrum or does it just spew what ever trash comes to mind?
1099302 tn?1257538352 I have graves disease and thyroid eye disease, and just recently have started smelling smoke all the time though am not around nor do I smoke. It is a hard thing to overcome, very uncomfortable especially since I hate smoking. I did notice others also have had expierenced this which in a way makes me feel better that I am not crazy. I also have bad sinuse problems am addicted to nasal spray otherwise can't breathe. Is there a answer for this symtom? If so I would be grateful to hear.
Avatar f tn This can be a normal variation, but it also can be due to hyperthryoidism - think Barbara Bush. Your doc should run a thyroid panel on you. Other causes, like a tumore or abcess behind the eye would have been seen on the MRI. Neither the Chiari nor the proptosis would be relevant to MS. The single lesion could conceivably be. But, the first two should be checked out.
Avatar n tn 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 ???
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 f tn Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies to make sure you do, in fact, have Graves disease and are not simply in a hyper phase of Hashimoto's? Both Graves and Hashimoto's are autoimmune. While Graves is always connected with hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's is most often connected with hypothyroidism, however it's not uncommon for one to have periods of hyperthyroidism in the beginning stages. You should ask for thyroid antibody tests.
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?
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 f tn Did I develop neutropenia from the Graves disease and how do I stop the neutropenia from getting worse? Also, what are some things that I should avoid as a result of my neutropenia? In addition, my heart rate ranges from 120-140 and I feel very tired and confused. Are these feelings a result of my heart rate? Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn I am glad I found this site, I found out today that I have graves disease, I also have a multinodular goiter and I had a thyroid scan and it showed a cold area, so I have to have a biopsy. I am so scared, I have never really been sick and now all of a sudden I get this. Has anyone had a biopsy on a nodule and how long does it take for the results to get back? Any help is greatly appreciated!

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 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?
Avatar f tn Looks like Graves' disease based on the significant elevation in T3 however to confirm this a TSI blood test or I-123 nuclear uptake would be required.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with graves disease and had the radioactive treatment to destroy it a few years back. I have had a few times where I did not have my meds for a week at a time. Is it normal to feel so tired and cranky? Also I took Zirtec for my allergies and I felt like I was cloudy and just wanted to sleep and tightness in my chest..... I am currently on 137 mcg of Levothyroxine.
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm 36 and I am almost 9 weeks pregnant. I have Graves' disease and had radiation treatment back in 2009. I hadn't been taking my thyroxine constantly for a few months as I was super stressed and now that I am pregnant haven't missed a dose. My thyroid levels are still very high and I'm worried that this will affect my baby's brain development/IQ levels. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm scared and worried.
