      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      This seems to help me the most because I tend to get overwhelmed with stress and handling difficult situations. By looking at life at a different approach helps to me relax and not worry so much about things that are out of my control.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      I need to do more of this and I believe this is something that is helpful for anyone especially those of us who suffer from Graves disease. I few months ago I was going to acupuncture two times a week. I found a place that was very affordable for my student budget so I was able to not stress about the cost. I was able to take 2 hours a week down time without sleeping or watching TV. This helped lower my heart rate and anxiety levels decrease. I strongly recommend this option.
