Cedar Allergy and Grave's

[Guest guest]

With Newly Diagnosed Graves Disease I was doing lots of online research. I

found several references to the IG E response to Cedar Tree pollen in Japan as a

trigger for Graves.

I winter in Tx, have for 7 years, last year was the first time I was bothered by

Cedar, and could barely talk due to hoarseness. I developed Graves disease in

the following Months.

I don't know the similarities between Cedar Species, but wondering if anyone in

Texas has heard of " your " cedar allergies being a trigger of the immune system

and Graves? The article never mentioned Hashi's being triggered.

Any info would be appreciated. Reviewing the messages on this board,

hyperthyroid patients seem to make fewer messages vs hypo. Need I look

elsewhere?

Thanks,

Cay
