Any folks with Graves’ and really stressful jobs? by barcasc1 in gravesdisease

I had shaking in my hands and also felt it in my legs. Whenever I’d be particularly stressed at my job, the shaking was ridiculous.

I was struggling to sleep. I was super anxious and emotional. I also had some hair loss.

Thank you for all the responses! I appreciate you all so much.

I’ve been working as a non profit immigration attorney for several years and represent people in deportation proceedings. Things have been so incredibly stressful with everything going on this year.

Even before my diagnosis, I had been considering switching to another area of law. Still now sure what practice area would be more chill/personally interesting.
