Read this whole forum, twice. you should level off from the meds in weeks, or months. I’m not a doctor, but I suggest don’t radiate your thyroid just because a Doctor told you.
Life style changes help, the food you don’t eat is as important as the food you do eat.
I’ve been diagnosed for over a year and I have found a medium so far without radiation, and I have a stressful job.

I just don’t see many people who actually wonder what caused this problem…before radiating or cutting it out.

hang in there.

I’m a 42 year old male who has been diagnosed with graves over a year ago. I guess my biggest thing about radiating or cutting out my thyroid is, what does it fix? what caused my thyroid to flip out?
I was prescribed the methimazole, and gained 40 pounds in 1 month. so I stopped taking the meds at the doctors prescribed rate. I honestly can say the meds made me more depressed then the graves.
My biggest change was diet. bread is bad, wheat is bad, most food I like is bad now, I don’t want celiacs (niece has it, seen issues first hand), or crohn’s.
As I attempt to exhaust all other avenues, I stumbled on a bio-identical hormone doctor. she definitely seems to think she can assist me, so I’m walking down that path now, I’ll update site when I have my appointment.
