Avatar n tn My endocrinologists recommended RAI treatment, telling me it is Graves Disease. No ultrasound or uptake tests have been done (or suggested). I am not wanting to treat something that I have no symptoms for, so radically . Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn Graves Disease cannot be cured...sorry to say you have it for life. As for the natural 'way', I have never come across anyone who has succeeded in 'controlling ' Graves with natural therapies alone. If you do have Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism, you are at high risk of thyroid storm (atrial fibraillation) if not on anti-thyroid medications which can result in a massive heart attack or even death. I am not trying to scare you in anyway...
1314073 tn?1282841674 I was just diagnosed with Graves Disease. I've been doing reasearch on the Internet and now I am TERRIFIED! Are my eyes going to bulge and my hair fall out? Does this happen to everyone with Graves Disease. I know this sounds vain, but fear is fear and this is all I can think about. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Avatar n tn I also have graves disease dxd Dec 2007. Like you, my graves disease began right around the time that I wanted to start a family & I had all the same symptoms as you. Fortunately the PTU is working for me. I have decided to have surgery, but I am waiting until January for other reasons. My Endo says that you can get pregnant sooner after surgery, vs RAI you have to wait 6-12 mos before TTC.
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 m tn As far as I know, there are no naturopathic treatments which are effective for pancreatic cancer, much less for Stage 4 of this disease. There are of course, any number of claims about the efficacy of this or that substance or herbal concoction, but evidence presented to bolster these claims usually are in the nature of testimonials, and cannot stand up to rigorous scientific testing.
1674106 tn?1403379490 * Herbs Bugleweed (Lycopus virginica) and Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) can help reduce the production of thyroid hormone. Bugleweed may block the action of thyroid-stimulating antibodies found in Graves' disease. The herb Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) can help regulate a rapid heartbeat. * Over consumption of uncooked goitrogenic foods can depress thyroid activity.
Avatar f tn I have Graves Disease & had TT Jan 2009. I have alot of anxiety & can't sleep. Can anyone recommend a natural remedy (I have been reading about Valerian & Melatonin). I have also read that you can't take these if you have Graves. Do I just need to talk to my Doc about getting Rx meds for this?
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 m tn thanks for all the help.iam gonna try to apply for some health insuarance through the state.i dont have an appointment until july,but i can wait that long.so when i make an appointment i ask to do the free t3/t4/Hashimoto's disease and graves disease testing?
Avatar m tn I have recently been diagnosed with graves disease. I dont like the traditional treatments my ex endo gave me - radiation, cutting it out, or dangerous drugs. Doe anyone know of alternative treatments that really work?
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.
