Re: thyroid eye disease and graves

[Guest guest]

Hashi's has been known to be M.I.A. on actual physically visual evidence, except for symptoms and actual physical damage to the thyroid gland. It is a real phantom, known to damage, but not be seen actually. Sucks, doesn't it? Do they actually see an antibody on an MRI? No. Do they see swelling? No. These things are at a chemical level, and it takes a specialized genetic lab to "see" it all. I've never had any chromosomal testing at all, and probably couldn't afford it, except in one of those freeby trials.

Re: thyroid eye disease and graves

that makes sense to me but wouldn't they find that if they do a brain scan like an MRI which I had a few weeks ago and they say they found nothing. they were looking for the reason for my oh so severe headaches.Now it does worry me that they say they found nothing cause well does that mean they didn't even find my brain>>>LOL. I know several people at times wonder if I really have one...like my hubby. Especially when he saw me put peanut butter in the frig, what can I say I was in a fog just wanted to finish cleaning up so I could sit a minute and rest my back was killing me. But anyway you would think and MRI on the brain would find something like that wouldn't you. Tina
