    I have had that issue for years now. Some times I am so tired when I wake up I feel like I didn’t sleep at all. One thing that has helped a great deal was becoming vegetarian. After only a little over a month without meat, my energy is better, I’m sleeping better, and my digetive system has never been better! I’ve also lost 15 lbs, which can’t hurt one bit. I found a great, organic women’s vitamin for the over 50 crowd. While I’m only 47, it seemed with this disease it would be a good idea to go with it, and I was right. I walk a couple of miles every day with my dogs, and the added exercise has also helped my insomnia. I guess what I’m saying is that you can reduce, although maybe not eliminate, a lot of symptoms with some basic lifestyle changes. It wasn’t too hard, I just started slowly eating less and less meat until now I don’t even miss it.
    I hope you find some relief, and wish you well in your journey with Grave’s.

    Hi Kimberly and thanks for your reply. I am in the process of applying for medical assistance, but until it’s approved I was hoping to hear from anyone else suffering from associated pain. I’m pretty sure my family thinks I’m exagerating my GD symptoms, and I’m hoping some of the responses will help them understand, as well as helping me find some relief. Thanks again, I’ll be checking back often for additional information about this disease I thought I had under control.
