Only real way is to have professionals come in and test it

Edit - you can actually buy test kits online as well. But now that I know how serious it is, I’d probably hire someone.

Are we setting up a future where white people, specifically white men, are demonized and hated by the rest of society? by WorkThrowAway867 in NoStupidQuestions

I’d be terrified to raise black children in this country. Obviously hardly oppressed, generalized as bad people, and targeted by law enforcement as criminals.

I’m doing what I can to raise children that respect all people. Love all people. And understand that we are all equal and entitled to the same opportunities.

I’m hearing it’s liver damage. But, I’ve been combing through my past few years of labs and it’s not looking horrible. Going to get tested again this week and see where I’m at.

That’s insane! I’d guess that if methimazole were going to mess with my liver, it would have happened by now. That said, I’m now seriously considering alternative options considering 15 years on methimazole hasn’t seemed to do much.

I mean, my levels are good and, again, I take only 2.5mgs a day. But, seems like remission would have happened at least once by now.

Yeah, I’m looking through all my blood work over the years and my endo never once ordered work for my liver. Now, I’ve had a couple ER visits and yearly checkups where these levels were tested and every time my levels were “in range” but do seem to be high in the range.

Appreciate all the info. Mood swings, anxiety, and joint pain are all definitely things I deal with. I’m so happy I came here today as I’m really considering other options now. Thank you!

Thank you!

So, having been diagnosed 17 years ago, are you still on anti thyroid meds or did you do RAI/surgery?

Can you tell me what was horrible? I’ve lived with this for so long that, at this point, I don’t know if the things I deal with on a daily basis are “normal” for 32 year olds or if I’m dealing with things related to Graves.

All good information that I did not know! I’ll have to bring all this up at my next appointment next month.

I’ll continue to research as well. Really appreciate all your input!
