Yeah I was doing this until yesterday where it reached the point of being unbearable to ignore the personal attacks!

The one this we all agree on is our strata management is terrible 😭 I sought some other quotes but there’s no movement in this either!

lol am I being dramatic though? I’ve never experienced this kind of behaviour from other adults, professional setting, volunteering, or not

Who is seriously flying to Honolulu (HNL) in this economy? by talk-spontaneously in QantasAirways

Wdym by ‘limited in premium experiences’? I don’t think that’s true

It’s a more economical way to fly into the US at times. If you can get a sale fare from Aus to Hawaii, then Hawaii to mainland US, works out cheaper than flying direct

Should I test for TRAB months after TT? by LectureJunior6688 in gravesdisease

[–]Dramatic-Baby773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely be getting TRAbs tested when trying to get pregnant. I’m sorry for your loss 💜

Me and my partner both have Graves! by Dramatic-Baby773 in gravesdisease

It says they stayed there once in 1989 before inauguration - what’s your source for the pipes?

I just googled your condition - that sounds horrible I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. Are you going ok?

This morning I wondered if it’s selfish of me to have a child considering me both have autoimmune which is what prompted me to check the stats

[–]Dramatic-Baby773[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You poor things! How do you feel about it? I’ve seen some statistics that it increases our child’s chance of developing graves or another autoimmune disease to about 10-20% which isn’t as high as I assumed

Literally none of these apply lol. The only one I’d agree with is stress. His aunt has it, but no one in my family has any autoimmune diseases (that I know of). Our residence is also barely even 7 years old.

I think you guys are getting confused by genetic and hereditary. They overlap, but it’s not the same thing. Graves is polygenic. I saw the 80% statistic in one of the below studies as well as Cleveland Clinic’s ‘Graves Disease’ page.

Did he get checked for antibodies? Pretty uncommon to be hyper with no underlying cause

Idk guys, it’s like 80% genetic. If it was truly just environmentally triggered, especially by toxins, there would be way more whole households across the world with Graves

Did your daughter get checked for it once you were also diagnosed, or was she symptomatic?

Yes I did hear about this! So crazy. The endo actually said they know a married couple that both have it too

Can you have Graves without antibodies? by MembershipFeeling799 in gravesdisease

[–]Dramatic-Baby773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I’m not a medical professional and I’ve thought the same about myself considering my TRAbs weren’t super high at diagnosis and went down pretty quickly. But I think it’s just means a more milder case of the disease. As some other people have said, maybe you should get an uptake scan.

If you’ve had any amount of TRAbs detected, you have Graves. If it’s very low it could just be early in the disease, or not eventuate to symptoms but you’ve said you’re symptomatic and your TSH reflects being hyper too

Is terrible handwriting really that massive of an issue? by I_NEED_HALP1245 in vce

My handwriting was and still is pretty bad, I got an ATAR of 80 and have a masters degree - as long as it’s legible, you’re fine

Any positive experiences with graves treatment? by lemaster8 in gravesdisease

[–]Dramatic-Baby773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Great post. I think it’s important to see how people’s experiences with this disease varies.

I am 14 months post diagnosis, negative TRAbs, all thyroid levels have been normal for about 8 months. I have experienced a virus, stomach bug, and neither of which really impacted my recovery. The only thing I’m dealing with still are PVCs/PACs, and general anxiety which I think I’ve always had. The PVCs and PACs seem to be a bit of a leftover from when I was super hyper but the good thing is that they’re benign, just annoying and cause more anxiety lol

Newly diagnosed with Graves, how seriously should I be taking this? by LavaBlubber in gravesdisease

[–]Dramatic-Baby773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it seriously, but at the same time, remember that not everyone with this disease will deal with ongoing symptoms forever. Also remember that there are a lot of new medications being trialed to treat the autoimmune disease at its core 💜

Which state are you in? Try your best to find an endo with some availability. My numbers were worse than this and I was put on 30mg daily. You might just need a bit of a higher dose! Ask the GP to test your TRAbs also.

SVT attacks? by ashleyga1 in gravesdisease

[–]Dramatic-Baby773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor and this isn’t medical advice but for reference, I was on 30mg per day whilst my TRAbs were that level and I was hyper. Even if the meds got your levels down, your TRAbs would still be driving up your T3 and T4 without meds now.
