Re: Adrenal Issues/Tish et all

[Guest guest]

I don't understand or know much about Graves disease, except there is some in my

family. It is very obvious when looking at old family photos that there is quite

a bit of TED there. The only ones I knew of that was ever treated were my great

aunt and my uncle. Both had surgical removal of their glands. I also used to

have very large eyes, but they are smaller now, so I have no idea, but think my

thyroid just burned out before it got bad enough to cause permanent damage. I

was a very hyper teenager, and weighed 98 pounds and ate like a HOG! But I also

understand Hashi's has hyper swings too, so as I have never had antibodies

tested, I don't even know which it is I have had.

,

So are you just treating yourself for HypoT now? With your family history, it

might be helpful to test for TPO and TSI antibodies. I'm certain that I was

hypoT for 17 years before stress triggered me into Grave's. And you don't

want to go there if you can avoid it.

I was getting the generic from MYRXFORLESS, now I will have to try Nature Throid

from one of the other online pharmacies. I have enough for a couple months right

now, so about mid month I will order more. Me & the CAT he takes alot of this

too! Ain't bad enough I have to buy stock in the company for me, but the damn

cat eats 3 grains a day too! But he is feeling much better on this dosage too,

so I can't begrudge him!

, one of the best ways to keep from having to destroy the thyroid when

found hyperT/Graves is to use block and replace. Something about block and

replace (which many dr's refuse to practice here in the states) gives a patient

much better odds of getting past hyperT/Graves with much better odds.

It's just a shame that it's practiced more in Japan from what my first Endo told

me, and not more here. Finding somebody knowledgeable is the tough part. :-(

>>But depending on my next set of labs in 5 weeks, I may add Cytomel or up my

Synthroid since I was still feeling HypoT on 1.25mgs of methimazole. <<

If you were feeling hypo on 1.25 mcg Methimazole, why are you now taking MORE

of it which would make you MORE hypo?
