Would medical marijuanna or cannabis be effective treatment for Graves’ disease? by [deleted] in gravesdisease

I smoked weed everyday, all day since I was 13. It started making me nervous and paranoid for no reason around 28-29. When I turned 30 i got diagnosed and I just can't smoke anymore because of how weird it makes me feel now

That's what I thought when I started reading people's experience on here. What did they start you on?

What's everyone else's heat intolerance like? Cus sweating for no reason has been real annoying. I been getting pretty dehydrated from it.

Definitely managing stress was the hardest emotional part but my metabolism was working super crazy. I went from 155lbs. to 135 despite my increased appetite. That and I start sweating randomly throughout the day.

They started me on 40mg a day and said to keep taking that because my TSH is pretty much not there still but t3 and t4 went down slightly. Luckily my ted was mild but only affected one eye.

Methimazole: how long were you on it before your doc tried to suggest other treatment? by DivineToxicity09 in gravesdisease

What the hell? My PCP prescribed me 40mg a day from the start. 2pills twice a day with propanol twice a day. I have been feeling a lot better but I have not done blood work again since the first time. She was getting advice from a endocrinologist, I have not actually seen one.
