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 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.
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 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?
2000931 tn?1401563007 I guess I'm now up to four cents worth, Some healthy discussion here and more than a few laughs thanks to the super SuperMum and the one with the golden Guitar. I love the 'regular as a goose' quote. Yes, I am happy to say you may be right about diet, but I'm hoping you're wrong about a holistic program to stop the progression of MS.
1494170 tn?1361750860 Hi there, There are no foods or diet specific to HCV; if you have compensated liver disease, you should be able to eat pretty much anything you enjoy; within obvious limits. If your cirrhosis is decompensated, e.g. ascites, encephalopathy, bleeds, then limiting red meats while maintaining adequate protein intake with legumes, white meat chicken, fish, soy products and the like is preferable. Additionally, your doctor might limit your sodium intake as well.
199177 tn?1490498534 My husband was diagnosed with graves disease this last week .He sees the endocrinologist Monday is there anybody that can help me understand this and are the partiular questions he needs to be asking the doctor .
Avatar m tn although nutrition is important for our health and well being and may slow the progression of the disease process this has not been proven...so definitely eat a healthy diet...without processed foods and hormone filled meats...but the only way to truly manage and potentially cure your endometriosis is through laproscopic excision surgery with a trained endometriosis specialist...
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 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 f tn interesting, I have the same - hairloss and v. poor circulation in my fingers which seems to have gotten worse over the past years. I also suffer from Graves' Disease and have wondered if these are related. I am trying to find out how I can prevent permanent damage to my fingers as they go white and "dead" for up to 2 hours (2 fingers left hand particularly) before going purple and returning to normal....
Avatar m tn 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.
877337 tn?1249844450 My husband and I are trying to loose weight. I have Graves and am struggling. We have reduced our portions, gone on a low-fat, low-carb diet. We have switched to whole grains/wheat and drinking water or green tea. I may have lost a pound or two but thats it. Do you have any suggestions? We are genuinely trying. Can somebody suggest a diet plan or site that might help? Thanks for your time.
Avatar f tn Hello! I was diagnosed with hashimotos disease about 7 years ago. I am currently on 88 mg of Synthroid. I am having lots of symptoms, so I think I'm having a T3/T4 issue. I have an appointment with a new endo in a couple of weeks. However, in the meantime, I've been thinking about my diet. It seems that everything I'm reading says to go gluten free if you have hashimotos. So my question... are you gluten free? Any other dietary restrictions?
455315 tn?1272107970 What are your opinions on the possible connection stated in this particular article? I am very interested in other thoughts as I would like to try to treat my autoimmune thyroid disease (waiting for further test results to find out what specifically I am diagnosed with) as naturally as I possibly can. This is why I need and appreciate this expert forum.
Avatar m tn Recommend eating a Heart Healthy diet which will give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs, gain weight slowly, and help with possibly preventing future disease states. Heart Healthy diet which is a moderate fat diet and a moderate fat diet means = using polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Avatar f tn Add more fiber foods in your diet, adding fiber foods in your diet makes your digestive clean and your excretory system also work well.
Avatar n tn You just need a balanced diet like the old days with lots of vegetables, lean protein and fruit. Eat little sugar. Substitute water for all those high-sugar drinks everybody downs in huge quantities. Be aware beer and liquor has calories. You can't just opt out from a healthy diet and eat a single food source like a protein bar or something. Balance, variety, lots of color, home-cooked, not processed and packaged.
599170 tn?1300973893 fast food is not a good diet for a pregnant woman. i know i did crave the big macs and whoppers but i also ate a well balanced diet. have you asked her ob to explain the importance of a well balanced diet to her? that it's what the baby needs? s/he may be able to get through to her.
Avatar m tn It is much ore like what our bodies make. Did you have Graves disease is an autoimmune disease that affects your thyroid as we know. Do you have a positive ANA now that you have had the radiation?
404138 tn?1308941656 s health and my own, is there a list of foods I can and cannot eat somewhere on the net that is accurate? My diet right now is not the best and I need to change that.
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.
