Avatar f tn I hope you are considering alternatives - there is no way back from TT. I can't even begin to understand what you are going through - but I do understand Graves and Hashimotos. My paternal grandmother had Graves, my mother has Hashimotos, and now my numbers are off and my doctor is thinking Hashimotos, but wants to put me on replacement hormones without doing TPOab (I am insisting on the test first, of course). Back to you...

1809109 tn?1331803777 What I really want is peer-reviewed medical journal or article. I know that having one autoimmune disease may make you more prone to getting another, but I want statistics and numbers. Does having Hashimoto's make you (statistically) significantly more likely to get Celiac's disease? Both my husband an I have Hashimoto's and my husband is gluten intolerant. Not sure if he has celiac's disease though, he hasn't been tested yet.
14827117 tn?1436915402 re asking about thyroid antibodies you are talking about Graves. You can google Graves disease remission and find studies. I typically use NIH/PubMed studies; they're usually peer reviewed and published. They are a bit difficult for lay-people but don't let that stop you. This is important information that drug companies don't want you to know because your knowledge is inversely related to their profits. http://www.thyroid.
374933 tn?1291081784 I saw a post on this yesterday that mentions a new attitude for the treatment of Graves symptoms from Dr. David Brownstein. Has anyone looked into more about antibiotic treatment? Interesting reading at :http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/brownstein.htm. Anyone care to comment or had any realife experience with this kind of approach?

Avatar f tn The most common forms of autoimmune thyroid disease are Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Gravesdisease. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (also known as chronic thyroiditis) may lead to hypothyroidism, while Graves’ disease is usually associated with hyperthyroidism.
Avatar f tn Is it possible for Graves to turn into Hashimoto's disease? I tested positive for TPO 562 & positive for ANA a few weeks ago. All thyroid levels are within normal range at this time except for the TPO, I am extremely tired, muscle aches and pains, rash all over body (it comes and goes) unable to focus, chronic infections, low grade fever daily. I was diagnosed with Graves in 2007 but, in remission for the last couple of years.

Avatar n tn 7 of those children had Graves disease. 66 children had a positive ANA; 4 with Graves disease. Unfortunately the study does not list an ANA pattern for these 4 children. 20 of 93 children (21%) had another autoimmune disease. 3 of the 7 children (43%) with Graves disease had another autoimmune disease. "The ANA pattern was homogeneous in 61/66 (92.4%), coarse/fine speckled in 4/66 (6%), and nucleolar in 2/66 (3%).

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.
676032 tn?1315674063 What an inspiration you are!!! I am finally starting to feel the same way, but have to be honest, when TSH levels were up after having RAI in Oct, it was hard to stay positive, it really grabs you by your feet and throws you down! The Dr. let my levels go up way too high and it has been a long road to feeling better. I also recommend people have a complete blood workup, as I was also very low with iron, vitamin D and B. I believe this is either caused by RAI or Hypothyroid.

5820022 tn?1378512355 "Graves disease usually yields RAIU values of 40 to 80% (normal 10 to 30%) at 24 hours. However, high-turn over varieties may manifest only as elevated 4-6 hour RAIU values (normal 4 to 15%), as 24 hour RAIU results may be normal or only mildly elevated." So, your result is toward the high end of the typical Graves' result.
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.
