About Me

Happy to find all of you Graves\' patients. :) After a lifetime of hyper and hypo flare ups, the day I was finally diagnosed during peri-menopause, all I could do was cry and kept repeating... \" You mean I\'m not crazy ! \" Spent 3 1/2 years on PTU, while dealing with severe Graves\' Opthalmopathy, boats for feet, and the ol\' elephant like ankles. Those darn antibodies were busy, busy, busy. Learning how to watch my iodine intake, avoid processed foods, and how to better handle stress, I am happy to report my eyes have returned to normal naturally and my Graves\' is currently in remission. Been 8 3/4 years since I\'ve needed any anti-thyroid drugs. Ya me !
