hello Everyone, Well it has been awhile since I was last on here and I thought I would update on how I’m doing. I found an endo that I really like and who seem to really care about me. I have taken my meds like I was told to and on the 26th of this month I will be going for the RAI for the 2nd time hopefully this time it will work for me. So wish me luck.

Hey Bobbi – The hospital gave me Artificial Tears Solutionthe day before I got out the hospital. I think it is starting to work it says to use it 3 times a day 2 drops in both eyes. It just that I can be forgetfully like really bad and I starting to forget to take my meds and i had to change doctors which is a pain in its self. I am just at my wits end. Like I say in my other post I am trying to get back to see my thyroid doctor but I need a referal from my Primary doctor and it reall SUCKS.

Hey Kimberly – my doctors have not talked to me about Thyroid eye disease but my eye have been bulging ever since I got the graves’ back in may of 08 and I have noticed that I have pressure behide my eyes and the sides of the eyes. I have also noticed that most of the time I sleep my eyes would be open slightly. I think the pain from my eyes is causeing me to have a lot of headache? My eyes also get dry but I don’t think I have had the double vision and I have dark circles under my eyes. I have really talked to my doctor because my primare doctor didn’t take my insurance anymore so I got a more depressed and stopped taking my meds and I end up in the hospital again. So my aunt as step up some and thinks she found a primare doctor and so I can get a referal so I can get back to seeing my thyroid doctor.

Hi Kimberly – I was on Propylthiouracil and now the doctor has put me on Methimazole. I have gone through the RAI but they said that it didn’t work and that I would have to do it again and I had depression a long time before the graves’. Plus I am sure that most of the stuff I do is bad for me like smoking cigarettes. I also have the racing heart and it sometimes make it feel like I am so tired but I just got new heart meds that are easier to take but I still feel like I don’t have energy. My sleep pattern is so off that its hard to do anything.

Hello Cindy,
I have notice that bad things happen to good people and that bad people mostly have nothing wrong with them. I am to the point that I don’t understand thing like i had a rough life growing up and now I have this disease. It like how much can anyone person can stand. I have a question why is drinking orange soda bad for someone with hyper?

Hello my name is Annamarie but people call me Annie I have been living with graves’ disease since 2008 and I am depressed most the time and sometimes I cann’t stand all the doctors, the pills, the fact that I don’t have the strangth to do anything and have no power in my legs. I just feel like it would be better to just stop taking the meds and let the disease take over. So my aunt found this website for me and thought it would be good for me to talk to other people that have graves’ but I don’t know what to do? how to feel cause sometime I just don’t care about the true of it all and that it can kill me ” title=”Sad” />
