    Good Morning – This is my first post here – so glad to have found you. I was just diagnosed with early Graves Disease and am going to see the doctor today to talk about treatment options. Upon hearing the diagnosis, I immediately thought about how I could possibly control this with diet. Reading the posts here, I think that leaky gut could be a contributing factor. I am also going through menopause, so it has been super hard for me to figure out what symptoms are Graves, and what are my insane hormones. Graves was the last thing on my mind – I went to the doctor because I suffer from excruciating lower back pain. Nothing has helped – acupuncture, chiro, shots in my back – and there is no disc damage according to the MRI. Just inflammation apparently. Nothing helps – not even meds (which I hate to take). She did a whole host of blood work on me, and then saw my thyroid levels were crazy. Does anyone else suffer from terrible pain with Graves, or is this a separate thing? Not asking for a dignosis, just wondering if anyone else has these issues. I’m sorry if I sound like an idiot, I really don’t know anything about this. The pain is not letting me sleep, which makes me anxious and depressed. It just pretty much sucks. I have never had a “thing” before. I am 51 and feel like I am falling apart. Anyone have any advice? Thanks much.

    Kat
