Close Graves' Disease
I was diagosed with Graves disease in 1988. I had radioactive iodine treatment. After about 6 months my thyroid levels were normal for 15 years. I now take synthroid every morning. I have had it all: anxiety, panic, heart, bulging eyes, decompression, which didn't help much, sleeplessness, rash associated with Graves. My Graves attacks come usually in the spring. Yet, I taught French for 34 years and retired in 2001; I'm optimistic person. This disease tests a person!
Treatments
- Radioactive Iodine Somewhat Helpful
- Hell for a few months then normal levels for 15 years
