Kimberly,

Thank you for the response and great advice. My daughter Cindy is excited to see a place where she can express her feelings about the disease. After looking over the site and reading different people’s experiences, I now have the
impression that Graves Disease may not be so easily solved as I want it to be. I have two younger children that they also want to test for GD so I am preparing myself and not hoping for a GD "trifecta". ” title=”Wink” />

Thanks again,
Margaret

Hello,

My daughter is 13 and we just found out today that she has graves disease.
So we are just starting our journey. I just gave her first dose of medication
tonight. She starts 8th grade on August 19th and her symptoms have been
so bad that we didn’t know how she could function when school started.
We are hoping that the medication will get her back to somewhere near
normal very quickly.
We have her first appointment with the pediatiric endocrinologist on August 27th so
this diagnosis has been determined by the symptoms and bloodwork
taken by her pediatrician and conferring with the pediatric endocrinologist.

Found your request as I have been looking for information and answers to
prepare myself so I can be an advocate. ILet me know.
Thanks, MS
