There is a hypo T list at the following address:

LISTSERV@...

THYROID@...

It deals with hyper and hypo and everything in between.

I had RAI when my daughter was 18 mos, pushed by my endo at the time of

course. I have a lot of regrets. Weight gain, etc. If I could do it over

again, it would be my last resort. I was very uninformed.

What is connection between eye problems and RAI? I've never heard of it.

Thanks

This is my way of thinking, and I could be wrong, but it does make sense if you

think about it......Grave's disease is an auto-immune disorder, which causes our

own immune systems to attack our thyroid, thus, the thyroid works harder, thus

the hyperthyroidism. Ok, so, if we kill off our thyroid because it is over

active (which is a symptom, not a cause), we still have the auto-immune disorder

that caused the whole problem. In my way of thinking, if the main effect (our

thyroid) is killed, the Grave's will attack the eyes more so then it did before

RAI. Plus, I am sure the radiation in our systems doesn't help, either!

i just read about the RAI and TED-60% more likely to get worse if RAI is done.

Those who didn't have TED before RAI are more likely to get it.

Something about 'predisone' before the treatment for a time period will

lessen the chances. I only know what I read.

January 19, 2000

Well add me to the list of victims. My eyes are puffy and teary. I don't

know if I would have done things differently...

I must remain hopeful. THanks for your help.

Quit clogging this board with religious discussion. This board is dedicated to

a discussion about Hyperthyroidism! Get it or get off.

Dear Jules,

In my Tabers medical dictionary. Anti-microbes are in our body to kill

bacteria. If you have too many, they are not only killing bacteria but

portions of our body that may have the " little buggers " in them or that the

body thinks they are in there.

Did you ever read my posts when I first came on line about a Dr.

McPherson who theorizes that the real problem in an autoimmune problem like

ours is that our body has had an infection and developed secondary tiny

little organisms called micoplasmas which invade different organs. The

organs it invades is the place our body begins destroying. For us, that

would be the thyroid.

I read on another email list that a young boy with an autoimmune

problem was even tested for the micoplasmas and had a positive test. So

there's a way to know if you can get a Dr. to check it out.

I believe yeast or viruses can do the same thing, but since your

antimicrobial antibodies are sky high, that would mean you'd be a strong

candidate for reading and applying the book " The Road Back Home " . I

understand even people with who were bed ridden with autoimmune problems

remained in lifetime remissions with a small long term dose of tetracyline.

I suspect that the herbs dandelion/burdock would do the same thing over

a period of time.

There is also a combination of herbs that is supposed to reduce an " over

producing " auto-immune system, but I " m not sure it will actually be

" healing " or if it will just relieve the symptoms of lowering the lab value.

It has astralagus and another common herb I can't think of right now. If

you are interested I can give you the info. I wonder if the combination of

those herbs and the dandelion burdock are the best shot to lower antibodies?

You have the advantage of doing lab tests regularly and see if any of

these theories work, since you have a Dr. checking these.

Please keep us informed if you find something that works,

Thanks for sharing,

Dear Deb,

Does carpal tunnel have any relation to Graves? I've started to get the

numbness in my right hand when I type on computer for past few weeks and now

am noticing it when I am driving. Since this is a nerve problem I wonder if

St. 's Wort would help. It heals nerve endings. Marshmallow removes

scar tissue that forms. I wonder if the combo would help the problem. I

see an Osteopath in April and get his opinion.

Le Ann,

Let me know what the Osteopath says. The Chinese ball thing sounds worth

a try. Good luck.
