I am starting a blog, just concentrating on my thyroid problems: Hashimoto's and Grave's disease.
I may use this site just to let off some steam, to share what is going on with me. At this very moment, I am terrified. I have untreated Grave's disease. Why untreated? Because I cannot make up my mind to destroy my thyroid, when my immune system is to blame. I am trying alternative treatments, but they are unsuccessful so far.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Treated with tapazole, it seemed to work. Boy oh boy, has this junk ever come back with a vengeance!! In April, 2015, I was diagnosed with Grave's disease too. I am :
Tachycardia, Hot, hot, hot, very frequent menses, bowel troubles, hair loss, atrial tachycardia, memory loss and thinking troubles, and all the rest that goes with this diagnosis. I am particularly terrified tonight, because my eyes have started to really hurt. Exophathalmos, anyone?? Not yet...and I hope not ever!!
So.....I will be using this little blog to try and sort out a solution and maybe some outlet for my feelings too.
