Beth,
You may feel like you have been whiney but look at it way; Graves’ disease is a hereditary disorder and without you realizing it you are making your family and friends aware of what to watch out for if they too, start with any of the Graves’ eye disease symptoms or the Graves’ disease itself. Perhaps after seeing what you have gone through they too can help out people who have not been diagnosed yet with this simply by saying that sounds like what my daughter or sister or friend has. Believe it or not you are stronger than you think! You made it this far to seek out the support-group and many of us like yourself have been there too. Maybe your family or friends would like to join our chat rooms and talk to others. Just know we are all here for you and whine here as much as you like.Its comforting to know and share like experiences with others.
Wishing you the best!
