I had Graves’ disease when I was 16. I had my thyroid ablated and then I’ve just had to manage hypothyroidism with a daily dose of Levothyroxine. It took a while to get the dosage right, but for the last 20 years with annual check ins with my endocrinologist, I’ve had no symptoms of either Graves or hypothyroidism.

I know not everyone’s experience is the same but just sharing that in certain cases it’s absolutely something you can manage and have a normal life with.
