Hi everyone, I posted my first post awhile ago labeled sm. town living and euthyroid. I was at the endocrinologist last week and it is official that I am euthyroid and my antibody and receptors are positive. The endo knew all about the Brazil nuts and selenium from the Italy studies. He told me that a lot of the graves studies are coming out of Italy as this country has a very high amt. of thyroid disorders. I started eating 4 or 5 nuts every morning. After 4 days I stopped having the pain when I move my eye around. this is a huge relief for me, I don’t know if the nuts are helping or this is just a natural progression.Nothing seems to help the swelling or eye retraction.

Hi Marian, Well, it has been two months, and I am wondering how your eyes are doing? Are they better or worse? I sure hope they are better. I have pretty severe TED, and the Brazil nuts did not seem to make any difference in my experience. But I hope they have helped you! Shirley
