Hello,

Just wanted to share this update as I, as may others, receive email updates for the American Thyroid Association (ATA) as I believe this is okay to post this link here.

Wanted to point out prior to my Graves coming out in 2010 that I had the emotional stress and the trauma in my life;

Also, I was headed that way with the conditions listed that were present. I was in a bad state. Just an FYI for fellow forum members, as for myself, I look back and think maybe I should have followed a different course of treatment to start, yet now that I am post RAI 4 months, even though things are not perfect, feel I am headed in the right direction!

Enjoy! beach

thanks beach

I, too had severe emotional stress and trauma prior to being diagnosed. I had also just broken my ankle and had to have surgery…It is a bear..I am glad I am getting treatment, but it makes me wonder if this could have been diagnosed earlier…I guess I will never know…

Darcy,

Your welcome…I wonder the same thing if I could have been diagnosed earlier and maybe had less problems; I was definitely subclinical hyperthyroid in 2007 as my T4 was okay yet my TSH was just about non-existent which they then called me “slightly hyperthyroid” yet with no further testing! Yes it is good you got treatment and myself even though for me I have been having a rough time yet a lot of people do well with treatment and I know in time I will get there!
