Date: 3/1/01 7:40:05 PM Central Standard Time From: AntJoan@... Reply-to: hyperthyroidism hyperthyroidism Dear Dawn Rose, I always enjoy your posts, as well. You're a real smart woman, and a fighter! I was diagnosed with Graves disease. They said this after they did the radioactive scan (which I'm sorry I did, as I've mentioned in earlier posts). Of course, I don't trust that the endo made a correct diagnosis. I really think they don't know what they're doing. I think I had a temporary imbalance that I fixed. Of course, Western doctors don't think like that, so they can only offer pills, surgery and horrible treatments to "treat" the symptom, rather than offer a cure. What do they care if the "treatment" leaves you sicker than before? Then you become a patient for life! Although I got better before I "met" and he started this group, I joined to keep learning about this illness, and to stop others from listening to their doctors who are pushing RAI and surgery. Keep fighting; it's worth it, I promise. Best regards, AntJoan AntJoan, did you have Graves antibodies? How long have you been in remission? What vitamins, etc., did you take? How long did it take you to go into remission? thanks Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 AntJoan, Now I'm starting to get confused. I don't have any symptoms, other than a tremor in the hands which comes and goes (mostly goes), but my labs say that my t4 and ft3 are about double the normal range, and my tsh is nonexistant. I did ask my PCP about other possible reasons for the ft3 being high. She didn't know, but strongly suggested I follow through with the endo to see whats up. Haven't yet. Babbling. Anyway, without any symptoms, all I have to go by are the labs. Guess that's what I go by. For now. PCP seemed to feel that I would probably show symptoms in about six to twelve months, but much prefers catching it now.

If it is about labs, others on this list maybe can help you, as I never paid much attention to lab results when I was ill. I wish you the best, AntJoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
