    About Me

    I was misdiagnosed for years but at 30 was diagnosed by my OBGYN With Graves. I was at his office for a annual when he said something I laughed and he said WHoa something doesn't look right in your neck ever have a thyroid test and sure enough I had only 3months before. He felt I should get another and sent me I was told by him my levels were extremely high and should see a Endo ASAP where i was told I have Graves. Since than I have been sick up and down with levels. Vertigo for months, aniexty, depression my hair falls out it be a horrible ride . They say it all linked to my Graves Diease.
