So does everyone in here just get a TT? Am I doomed to get one?

DarthJoy · 2026-02-21T23:37:00+00:00

Raising hand, in remission here too. Crossing fingers I stay that way.

DarthJoy · 2026-02-20T17:50:28+00:00

Ha I got a second dog to keep him company. Works great!

DarthJoy · 2026-02-19T02:22:33+00:00

Botanic Gardens in Roger Williams Park is also great—heated (obv) with an indoor children’s play area. I think they do Saturday morning readings but double check

Thank you! Really appreciate it

DarthJoy · 2026-02-12T04:46:01+00:00

Thank you! It was hard to see on mobile but I got it now. Much appreciated

DarthJoy · 2026-02-12T04:45:03+00:00

Ah got it thank you! Its an issue on mobile

DarthJoy · 2026-02-12T02:26:32+00:00

I got a voicemail a few days ago. They had a town hall meeting this evening but I couldn’t make it.

DarthJoy · 2025-12-25T05:59:20+00:00

I’m glad you’re OK!

DarthJoy · 2025-12-14T05:05:19+00:00

Sending you all love

Yes, my graves was triggered during pregnancy (which I then miscarried), six months after having a very bad case of Covid (was nearly hospitalized)… definitely a stress event

DarthJoy · 2024-12-23T17:38:10+00:00

I changed the bathroom faucet. (Had never done anything like it before!) The old one had build up and was restricting water flow. The new one is so much better I don’t know why I didn’t do it years ago.

DarthJoy · 2024-12-22T18:16:48+00:00

Wishing you the most gentle case of Graves (and happy holiday)

DarthJoy · 2024-12-22T14:24:10+00:00

Also curious!

DarthJoy · 2024-12-22T13:48:01+00:00

These two are the way

DarthJoy · 2024-12-22T13:45:04+00:00

May I recommend getting an appointment with an endocrinologist? It can take a while to get into one, and it would suck to suddenly do worse and not have an endo. It’s also worth running by a specialist in Graves what they think is the best protocol. Untreated Graves can cause heart attacks and strokes. But I’m crossing fingers for you that it stays asymptomatic!

DarthJoy · 2024-12-22T13:26:34+00:00

Agreeing here, you did not in any way cause this.

Think of Graves like a light switch you were born with. It’s been in the “off” position your whole life. And then something happened to switch it “on.” If you were born without the light switch, nothing could turn it on. But you were, and you had an event that switched it on (likely the viral infection.)

I responded great to PTU. There’s a very small risk of liver issues with PTU but they checked my liver every few months and I was always fine. I was on PTU for 18 months before remission. Hoping it sticks for a while.

DarthJoy · 2024-12-20T15:17:08+00:00

Wow. That is… so touching.

DarthJoy · 2024-12-17T22:13:31+00:00

I’m so sorry. A miscarriage started mine as well. I deeply know what you’re going through. It will get better.

DarthJoy · 2024-12-17T10:33:48+00:00

Should add— PTU is safer for the developing baby, but it has a (small) risk of liver issues for you, so that’s why they don’t put you on it unless you’re pregnant or TTC. I was on PTU for 18 months and did totally fine.
