graves disease neuropathy

Okay, I'm 24 years old. I have 2 children, one adopted 7 year-old daughter and an 8-month old son. I was recently diagnosed with Graves' disease but have no underwent tx as of yet. I am otherwise healthy, slightly underweight, no drugs/ alcohol, no everyday medication, etc. I can remember having these pains (less traumatic) for some time now, but more recently, I have had this extremely sharp, crippling quick pain that begins on my right upper arm and radiates to my head area.

My tsh, t4 free, t3 total, tsi are all normal. I was diagnosed with graves, extremely hyper back in 2001. I have been feeling hyper for some time and all blood work was always normal because my doc never tested the tpa. I have had a lot of neurological issues going on which I have been seeing a neuro., mainly sensory issues, muscle twitches, tingling and extreme muscle weekness is my legs, trigiminal neuralgia, frequent urination, neuropathy. My neuro is thinking probable MS.

), female, and confused lol. I read something about graves eye disease? could this be it? I think that I do have a thyroid issue (I'm overweight, which is a cause, right?) as indicated by doctors in the past, and I know that plays some role in graves. Just in need of some help, here. Thanks!

Hello, I'm 22 year old male who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 2 years ago. All was fine, I didn't need to take any pills, then this month I went to my endocrinologist and she prescribed me Methizol pills for Grave's disease since my FT3 was 6.14 (range 3.34-5.14), a bit too high.

In answer to your question- One reason is that maybe you have Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease. In this disease, your body develops antibodies which attack your thyroid gland. As the antibodies continually attack your thyroid, you will lose thyroid function over time, in which would cause you to need an increase in meds. It would be most helpful to see your most recent lab results. That is quite a jump in dosage for your Dr. to throw you on without doing it gradually.

d with ischemic optic neuropathy in 2007. I also have had orbital decompression surgery due to Graves eye disease. Three to Four months following my orbital decomp. surgery, I had speech slurring for two weeks and then my right eye became very blurry. My eye test for my right eye was 20/70, 6 months later it was back to 20/40.

i also have diabetic neuropathy and i was due to have a total knee before i had a heart atack i also was just dx with graves disease

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 ???

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

I am glad I found this site, I found out today that I have graves disease, I also have a multinodular goiter and I had a thyroid scan and it showed a cold area, so I have to have a biopsy. I am so scared, I have never really been sick and now all of a sudden I get this. Has anyone had a biopsy on a nodule and how long does it take for the results to get back? Any help is greatly appreciated!

ve been having these severe migraines for over 2 months now, my eyes hurt terribly from all the pressure, im not sure if its the pressure in my nerves from all the spasms and intense pain and weakness im having in my limbs but im scared that its ocular migraines, i could not read properly with having bad pain in my head, i have graves disease but with my doctors appoinment yesterday at the endocrinologist the doc says im 'normal' when im everything but the muscle weakness is so sever i

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.

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?

Looks like Graves' disease based on the significant elevation in T3 however to confirm this a TSI blood test or I-123 nuclear uptake would be required.

I was diagnosed with graves disease and had the radioactive treatment to destroy it a few years back. I have had a few times where I did not have my meds for a week at a time. Is it normal to feel so tired and cranky? Also I took Zirtec for my allergies and I felt like I was cloudy and just wanted to sleep and tightness in my chest..... I am currently on 137 mcg of Levothyroxine.

Hello. I'm 36 and I am almost 9 weeks pregnant. I have Graves' disease and had radiation treatment back in 2009. I hadn't been taking my thyroxine constantly for a few months as I was super stressed and now that I am pregnant haven't missed a dose. My thyroid levels are still very high and I'm worried that this will affect my baby's brain development/IQ levels. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm scared and worried.

iam apatient who suffers graves disease. My question is : Although I am almost 4 months on Carbamizole treatment 60 mg + Taking inderal ( propanalol), but the levels of my T4 & T3 are still high and the levels of TSH is less than 0.01. what do you think , should i sstop the medication and think of the other allternatives like the radioactive iodine or surgical removal?
