My heart goes out to you. The most important thing is that you get well so that you are a whole, strong parent for your child. And so that you can live life fully.
When we are in the stage that you are it is so hard to focus and to see things clearly. You do need to make a treatment choice. This condition does not go away. It’s been 7 years since I was diagnosed. Life post treatment is so much more manageable than life pre treatment.

Curious to see how Suzanne is doing with the stomach and dietary issues. I went wheat-free as well and felt better. I still get stomach upset after eating and it doesn’t seem to be predictable. Graves’ was diagnosed in 2004 and RAI in 2006 and have been fairly stable once all the hormone dumped and the levithyroxin was started. I also have TED but that’s stable too. I see my opthamologist every three months. My left eyelid rolls inward and by the end of three months a few eyelashes are rubbing on my eye. But nothing else bothering.
