Avatar f tn Try and relax and just look at it like your on a trip, and turned off on a bumpy road, it will get better. we have all been through the depression symptoms of thyroid disease so you are not alone, we are always here to answer your questions.
Avatar m tn Symptoms: exhaustion (extreme), poor memory, anxiety, depression, complete loss of sex drive, slight hair loss, brittle nails, moody. Have been diagnosed with "graves disease". I underwent RAI treatment. 10 weeks post RAI my TSH is .006, T3 is 5.4, T4 is 2.24. I feel no better, have been back to my Endo and nothing. No medication. My symptoms persist. I have also begun experiencing occasional palpatations of the heart. Nothing is better.
Avatar n tn 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).

Avatar n tn I have recently been diagnosed with graves disease, I am at the point where I can no longer function and I am afraid of losing my job. What can I do to prevent this from happening before I get treated?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed last year with either early stages of Graves Disease or thyroiditis - time will tell which one. Bloods have stabilised but recently having palpatations. Have started on aurorix due to a major depression and now experiencing racing pulse and tremor. Could the aurorix have caused this or is it just co-incidence that thyroid acting up again?
Avatar m tn Hello. I am new to the group. I have been diagnosed with 2 autoimmune disorders (Graves' Disease and Vitiligo) in addition to asthma, acid reflux, sleep apnea, severe inhaled allergies especially ragweed and fall mold), depression (potential misdiagnosis), mild vasovagal syncope, chronic fatigue. I also had surgery in 2012 to remove severely inflamed sinus tissue.
Avatar n tn why after almost two years do I still have graves symptoms.
Avatar n tn While Graves Disease is always associated with hyperthyroidism, not all hyperthyroidism is Graves Disease, because Hashimoto's, which is most often associated with hypothyroidism, is often characterized by periods of hyperthyroidism in the early stages and can even swing back and forth between hyper, hypo and normal.
Avatar f tn 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.
877337 tn?1249844450 What are the earliest signs/symptoms of Grave's Disease? Can a person have this and the entire thyroid not be effected? Does a person have to have the bulging eye problems or skin problems on the shins for it to be Grave's Disease? One would think it would take time to get to those conditions, therefore I'm wondering what the earliest signs/symptoms might be. Thanks in advance for your help. I'm just trying to learn.
Avatar f tn my girlfriend has graves disease and a hyperactive thyroid she also has bipolar in her family and I believe she also has that. she's very irrational which is expected and the more I read the more I'm convinced she has bipolar. how cannot get get to see someone about it without her getting upset??
Avatar n tn Can you have graves disease so bad that it would seem like bipolar and I thought Graves disease was an overactive thyroid, so how can you be hypro?
1576249 tn?1296087202 About a year ago I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism caused by graves disease(which causes metabolic problems, mood, anxiousness, insomnia, fast heart rate), in the last few months my thyroid is in remission so I was taken off anti-thyroid medications. Within the last month or so my depression has become unbearable but im still having maniac episodes, which can range from panic attacks to irrational behavior. Two weeks ago my family doctor said I am bipolar.
Avatar n tn 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??
Avatar m tn My question is Graves Disease ? Thyroiditis ? or is it possible that the neurosymptoms are related to raised TPO ? Thanks Ganno.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn All of the symptoms you've been having - irritability, stress, ibs pain, depression and anxiety can be symptoms of a thyroid condition. They can apply to both hyper and hypo. It's important to note that the TPOab antibody can be slightly elevated in Graves Disease, as well as in Hashimoto's; however, gimel is right that Hashimoto's can swing hyper, then hypo and may do this numerous times before finally swinging permanently hypo...
Avatar f tn based on your labs, you don't appear to have graves disease. graves disease is when your tsh is low and your ft3 and/or ft4 are high. however, you may have hashimotos (slow destruction of thyroid that leads to overt hypothyroidism). ask the docs to run all the antibodies. that'll give you the info you need.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Sorry, gonna chime in here. Hope you don't mind. I also have Graves Disease. Graves Disease is a complicated Autoimmune Disease. However, it would not cause lesions in the brain or spine. I know this because I just had a visit with my Endo this week after a Neurologist found several T2 FLAIR lesions throughout my Supratentorial region. I now have to do more testing.
Avatar n tn 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.
