Interesting. Around the same time that I first started experiencing Graves’ symptoms (tremors) I was also having severe intestinal problems. I was seriously ill and needed surgery. I think my Graves’ contributed to my slow recovery while my Graves’ symptoms were blamed on my other illness. I was losing tons of weight and no one ever thought to check my thyroid levels. 😡

emmtee, makes me wonder how many of us had GI issues prior to onset of Graves. I had my first bouts of irritable bowel a few months before Graves. Had never been to a gastroenterologist before those episodes. Never connected it with Graves onset, although I did connect the stress triggering the IBS to Graves.
