I was diagnosed with Graves Disease nearly 3 years ago. My endochrinologist has told me i’m a classic case…in other words i have endured all known symptoms and, as we all know, it is no fun at all. Now, at last i am beginning to feel my health improving. The blood tests are showing good results but the disease itself is still active which explains why i have the constant eye problems and swelling. Anyway, i really just wanted to say to those of you out there battling it out with this disease…hang in there…it takes a while but one day you will wake up and start feeling alive again. Its great to have a site like this to get a little support and know that you’re not on your own.
