My stepmother was finally diagnosed after taking a year and a half off from work and being sick for about 2 years and it turns out she was diagnosed with Graves disease. I never heard of it. I looked it up online but it doesn't seem like something that would need that much time off and I was wondering if she could have another type of disorder/disease that is being labelled as Graves disease just because doctors are too lazy to find out what's really wrong.
I have the anti-microsomal antibody,anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti thyyroglobulin and suffer with Graves Disease.
The best thing would be to see an Endocrinologist but I would've thought your Doctor wouldve known the outcome of your Labs.It is possible to have BOTH autoimmune diseases.
Both blocking and stimulating antibodies.
An ultrasound and uptake scan confirmed the Graves diagnosis also my sister has Graves too.
It makes you feel crazy when you know what HELL you are going through and it is ALL attributed to anxiety (duh, the body whacking out would make anyone anxious, and then being denied definition drives you crazy). I have some of the similar symptoms you mentioned. My legs ache when I walk now, but so far nothing showing in tests and yesterday a horrible demeaning NP at the walk in clinic made me feel so low. I hope you improve with your meds. Hang in there.
Our findings indicate that sonography has high specificity but low sensitivity in the diagnosis of either Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. It is therefore not possible to differentiate between these two diseases using sonography alone. Confirmation by laboratory data is also needed."

Why didn't the doctor just run a TSI test for Graves'?
why after almost two years do I still have graves symptoms.
Diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and mile Graves' Disease and haven't gotten pregnant for 3 years. I am 29 years old and husband is 34 years old. We want to have a baby this year. I went to the Endo, and she said it is better to not treat and leave me as slightly hyper. My frustration and confusion is that if I'm not getting medicine or changing anything, then what is being done to help me get pregnant?
Hi, I am a 28 year old woman and was diagnosed with graves disease 3 years ago. I have commented o many forums regarding my problem but would like your advice. I was treated with radio active iodine in 2006 and then became hypothyroid, I now take 150mg of levothyroxine daily. I have never suffered from graves opthalmology as far as i'm aware.
For the last 6 months I have had a chronic daily headache. This started 3 days after purchasing new glasses.
i feel like my legs are going to collapse, i feel sick all the time, im just looking for a doctor that will listen to me because my symptoms are getting worse. what i understand about graves disease is that it is an autoimmune disease and that there is no cure, but the endocrinologist is taking it so lighly because my readings are fine, what am i to do??
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.
s are mild compared to hyperthyroid symptoms of Graves antibodies. I also developed thyroid eye disease symptoms and pretibal myxedema due to Graves antibodies showing up as well. My labs showed subclinical hypothyroidism when I was very hyperthyroid so the combination of antibodies did weird things lol.
I am a 25 y/o female diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at 16 and later with Graves Disease and Goiter. I have been on Tapazol along with Atenelol (for the Tachacardia) off and on for the past 9 years with no results. Every doc I see wants to discuss nothing but RAI or surgery. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few years with no success. I finally found out that I was pregnant the beginning of last year and made it to 4 months and suffered a miscarriage for no apparent reason.
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.

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 ???
hi i'm a 28 yr old woman and have suffered badly with symptoms from graves disease for 3yrs i've been on propylthiouracil for a year now as i had a severe allergic reaction to carbimazole!
my symptoms include insomnia,severe fatigue,anxiety,bouts of depression,poor concentration,memory loss,bruising easily,dizziness,nausea and graves rage and weakened immune system (sick often). the problem is that i've recently had a blood test that read normal at 5.
I also have Graves disease and from my understanding you are never "cured", but, once your thyroid is either dead or you have it removed you should no longer be suffering from the symptoms. Except the protruding eyes, that is the only symptom that they can't reverse. That you are going to have to live with for the rest of your life. That's why it's so important to get treated before that happens. I would say that your tiredness is from being perimenopausal.
I was diagnosed with Graves disease 11 years ago. My endo prescribed Methimazole, which I was allergic to, so he told me he didn't want to prescribe me anything else because sometimes the allergy kills the thyroid. It apparently did, because all of a sudden I was hypo and I had to go on synthroid. Since then, I lost my health insurance and got handled by my PCP instead of the endo (cheaper).
