Rachel,
Sorry for the dry humor on the orangatang jowls. It’s how i cope. Folks
with Graves do go through some facial feature changes but not as bad as I kidded
about. Now if your thyroid levels are dropping “DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE
MONTH!!!” to get to the doctor. the sooner they start the thyroid replacement the
better yo will feel. Don’t try and tough it out. I did the same thing when my
thyroid died and it took me months to get feeling better. Go to the Doc. It’s what
we pay them for. The weight gain will start to taper off once you get your thyroid
levels back to normal. Talk to your doc about a mild antidepressant to help through
this period. I didn’t know about them when I went through it and they would have
helped. Keep in touch.
Regards,
JAke
