    • Close Graves' Disease

      I was diagnosed with Graves in 7/08 at a routine diabetes appointment. I have been a juvenile diabetic since 1974 and experienced all the hyperthyroid related symptoms. After being on Tapezole for 6 months I received RAI 1/09. In 7/09 I started noticing some eye swelling and have been in an active stage on TED ever since. I am currently on Prednisone which is effecting my blood sugars and have seen eye doctors including two orbital specialists and they are now considering radiation on the eyes.

      Treatments

      Radioactive Iodine Working / Worked
      Still adjusting my levoxyl and now in active TED.
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      My TSH is still out of range and the endocrinologist is still making adjustments.
