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.
Hi there! New to this forum. I'm a gal who has been hyper for years with graves. I'm profusely sweating, gaining weight and not able to get insurance w/o being hypo for a year.I'm supposed to be level on my blood work or a little bit low/high, not sure. I'm having bad joint pains too and developed a tigger finger out of the blue. I'm having a RAI scann in a couple weeks. What are your experiences with the ablations and going hypo, good, bad otherwise?
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?
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?
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.
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.

After being diagnosed with Graves Disease, I opted to have my Thyroid obliterated using the Radioactive Iodine Therapy procedure. During the transition of losing the Thyroid, I lost a good portion of my vision in my right eye. Was told that the vision loss is due to AION (Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropothy). Once I lost my vision, I began to feel "unbalanced" or "light headed" at all times. Sometimes this feeling diminishes but it never really disappears.
My advice is to get out of the hospital on meds to correct the levels, go to Columbia University in NY where there is a graves specialist that is world renowned. My graves went into remission after 4-6 months and except for one episode that lasted briefly it's been in remission since - meaning - my thyroid and all it's functions normal - of course, my antibodies are still off the chart, so I still have the disease.
Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease where the Graves Disease antibodies attack the persons thyroid causing hyperthyroidism (levels of FT3, FT4 too high and TSH too low.
Left untreated it can be very dangerous.
Get your Sister to see an Endocrinologist but in the meantime whilst waiting for an appointment, get her to her local Doctor to start treatment of anti-thyroid medications.
I am a 45 year old female who was diagnosed with Graves Disease in Jan 2006 and have been treated successfully with PTU ever since. My lastest blood work came back with a TSH level of 0.73 mUnit/L (the only test my current endocrinologist will run.) Last week while on vacation, I started noticing my hands and feet going numb. The large toe on my left foot is numb most of the time, and at times painful. I am waking up night with my hands, feet, arms, and legs tingling.
I had treatment with I-131 at Mayo Clinic in 1986 for Graves Disease. I have been on Synthroid or Levothyroxine ever since. Recently, my TSH went way down. Although my dosage has been reduced from .112 to to .100 and now .088, I am continuing to have hyper symptoms after 8 weeks on .088, I have the scalp "raised spots" and other symptoms including throat and swallowing "fullness" and some ear discomfort, all on the right side. No shakiness though, which I had with Graves.
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.
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.

Grave's disease cannot be treated through diet, although diet can affect how you feel. Too much iodine can cause your hormones to go further out of balance.
Thyroid Eye Disease is related to Grave's, but it is not part of the Grave's package for all people.
You are hyper, whether you feel it or not. Heart symptoms and emotional problems are obvious symptoms, as well as weight loss and severe fatigue.
