When I was first diagnosed with Graves’ six years ago, this bulletin board was an important resource for me. Choosing a treatment is such a difficult decision, and it’s helpful to get input from people who have gone through it. I had a difficult case with lots of ups and downs.
I’m fortunate to have a Graves’ support group in my community, so in the years when I wasn’t posting here, I was attending meetings pretty regularly. I recently started reading the bulletin board again and I post here to help newly diagnosed patients the way that I was helped by others in years past. I recently even had a question of my own and got some great answers. This is a chronic disease and it can always change.
