    I’ll send you a private message with a link that may help. You can search your local area for resources so your daughter can be seen.

    If your daughter has Graves’ Disease, it is NOT likely she has tumors in her thyroid. She may have a goiter (swollen thyroid) due to imbalanced thyroid hormone levels, but tumors are not a typical occurrence with Graves’. If she has just had a thyroid storm, you need to figure out some way to get her help and begin the healing. There must be some kind of hospital nearby for people in your position ~ check teaching hospitals, med schools, anything you can think of. If nothing else, park yourself at an ER with her and ALL of your questions/concerns, and tell them you’re not leaving until someone gives you a resource to help her get well, a resource that will be an ongoing relationship.

    This is bound to be a long road, getting her back to health, so you will need a doctor that understands your financial position and lets the care come FIRST. Someday we’ll catch up with the rest of the world on healthcare…..
