    • Close Graves' Disease

      I was diagnosed with Graves disease a year and a half ago. I have eye involvement which currently is the worst part of the disease. I'm hoping to talk to others in similar situations to see how they are coping with this disease.

      Treatments

      Methimazole Not Working
      Allergic reaction - hives
      PTU Working / Worked
      This med lowered my levels almost immediately. I have recently been weaned off of PTU therapy after being on it for almost a year and a half.
