Avatar f tn In the mid august I had my second visit with the endocrinologist who continued insisting with Graves disease. When I questioned her about the absence of Graves antibodies she responded that I had the abTG antibodies to confirm the diagnosis. Now, one month after my latest tests, I am confident I have entered hypothyroidism. I have been eating less, yet I have gained 2-3pounds in 10 days. I am sure it's water retention. I feel a bit tired. My last period came 4 days earlier than usual!
Avatar f tn My doctor won't diagnose me with graves disease but when reading message boards, people say anything over 2% is graves. If I have this, how can I cure it naturally? I can't take medication. TSI (Normal) 113 TSH 0.02 (Low) Range is (0.035 - 4.67) T3 Free 5.84 (high) Range is (1.45 - 3.48 ) T4 Free 2.00 (high) Range is (0.70 - 1.
Avatar f tn Your TSI indicates Graves Disease, however, it would seem that we might need more information. Are you taking anti-thyroid medication or have you had a thyroidectomy? Even though your TSH is very low, so are your Free T3 and Free T4... Graves Disease is associated with hyperthyroidism and low thyroid hormones, such as you have are associated with hypothyroidism... Have you been tested for Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOab) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)?
Avatar m tn Do you know if you have Graves Disease? Not all hyperthyroidism is caused by Graves. Do you know if you ANY autoimmune disease? An autoimmune disease is one in which antibodies attack and eventually destroy the thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism is most often connected to Graves Disease, while hypothyroidism is generally connected to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. It is possible to have both Graves and Hashi's.
Avatar f tn Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (also known as chronic thyroiditis) may lead to hypothyroidism, while Gravesdisease is usually associated with hyperthyroidism.
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 m tn MacMillan has Plummers Disease which is a completely different 'ball game'. I wouldnt reccommend anyhting for Graves and Hyperthyroidism other than anti-thyroid meds and/or permanant treatment. Graves antibodies are with you for life...and regardless of what some think..you dont mess around with Hyperthyroidism. It would have to be more dangerous than Hashimotos. You only have one Heart and you only have one Liver....look after both and dont risk taking chances.
Avatar f tn I am 27 years old ... have had thyroid problems since pregnant with my daughter almost two years ago! they were watching my thyroid levels prior to that pregnancy though. They say that I have hypothyroidism (thyroid don't work) buut I also have antibodies for graves disease ... although my thyroid jumps from hypo to hyper frequantly ... my question is will I ALWAYS have the antibodies for Graves disease? Makes it possible to get graves disease and most importantly ... is it heretitery?
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 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 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 n tn I have 2 sisters with hypothyroidism and one with hyperthyroidism. she gotten graves disease . she is starting to gain weight . she had this for over 10 years now. she went through the radioactive iodine and it did not work. she did not want the thyroid removed because of the singing she enjoys. what can she do to loose weight.will the graves disease get worse? it is starting to effect her eyes some. she does not have insurance so I don't even know if she is buying her meds.
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.

Excerpt from Hashimoto's thyroiditis following Graves' disease. Acta Med Indones. 2010 Jan;42(1):31-5.... "Pathogenesis for chronic thyroiditis following anti-thyroid drug treatment in patients with Graves' disease remains unclear.
Avatar f tn t show levels of either Graves or Hashimotos so I had an ultrasound that diagnosed graves disease but these are my thyrod panel results in comparison. I had a baby 8 months ago and since I have been treating my thyroid imbalance the natural way with supplements and lifestyle changes. What do you think of these levels? How did they flip to the opposite side of things?
616450 tn?1228433627 I definitely have seen that my diet can rev up my immune system (aggrivatign the graves), but I lack any specifics or scientific studys to back this up.
Avatar f tn Have you been diagnosed with Graves Disease or did you have a hyper phase of Hashimoto's? Graves Disease is always associated with hyperthyroidism and remains that way; Hashimoto's often starts out with hyperthyroidism that alternates with hypothyroidism or periods of normal, but, eventually, settles into permanent hypothyroidism that requires replacement thyroid medication... What medication did you take, what dosage and why did you stop taking 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 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 What med are you taking? What are the actual T3/T4 levels and are they Free T3 and Free T4 or Total T3 and Total T4? Be sure to include reference ranges with any labs posted. Have you been tested for Graves Disease or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis? Both are autoimmune diseases that attack the thyroid. All Graves Disease is hyperthyroidism, but not all hyperthyroidism is Graves Disease.
