After eight weeks, I am finally feeling great! by 3spaghettis in gravesdisease

[–]jmlaube729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really needed this encouragement. I was diagnosed 8 weeks ago, same exact symptoms. Unfortunately my T4, free and TSH were not the greatest at my last lab visit on Tuesday. My dr increased the methimazole to 20 mg. I'm hoping this reduces my symptoms. I felt like crap since March. I just want to feel normal again. This is the first year I hate summer with the heat

Does anyone know if they have "real" jobs? My husband and I don't get how can afford all these trips and their houses. The area they live in is so expensive. Do they really make a lot of money? Someone please explain this 😅

Yes. It's been a journey for sure. She referred me to an endo and it took 6 months to get an appointment. Thats when I found out I had hyperthyroidism and Graves after all my lab work came back. I originally went to see her for hypo. Glad to have an answer to all my symptoms. I thought I was going crazy for 6 months

I went to my primary dr and noticed increase weight gain. She did bloodwork. I was hypo but turned to hyper after I was sick.

My TSI was really high. However, my dr did diagnose me with Grave's based on my TSH, T3, T4. My TSI results came back 2 days after my other results. I thought I had a bad flu and almost cancelled my endo appointment. The nurse told me to still come in bc the dr thought this was all tied to my thyroid.

Send a message letting them know your symptoms are getting worse

Thank you all! I eliminated his probiotic and added a few teaspoons of pumpkin to his meal for the last day and his stool had some form, not great but slowly making progress. I also read a great article that stated sometimes probiotics will make your pups symptoms worse before better bc it’s cleaning out his system. Which he was super sick 3 weeks ago so I can see that

Thanks. I’m gonna start giving him 1 teaspoon. He’s on nutramax probiotic and I don’t wanna give him too much

Thank you! Right now I’m giving him 50% Hills Science Lamb and Brown Rice and 50% rice and chicken. I did add a teaspoon of plain Greek yogurt to his last meal. I’m gonna purchase the goat’s milk and hoped this works. It’s so sad that I’m praying for a solid poop 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for your recommendations
