Graves and Hashimoto's

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I went and had 5 tubes of blood drawn today and my usual labs plus

they did the TSI, FT4, FT3,CBC and I asked for the AB's for the

Hashimotoes. I must have this disease along w/graves. I'm assuming

this because of my major mood swings from up to down up to down. I

have tried tons of stupid pills and they do nothing but further make

me ill. I am on 50mgs of PTU right now. Its been over a year and my

labs have been normal for 5 months yet my head isn't. So I'm

thinking I have this Hashimotoes Antibody stuff so my Endo did the

run down. All I asked for was the stupid Antibody test for

Hashiomotes and she had to go throw in the TSI test again. Whats with

the Endo's? I think they do it to shut me up but 5 tubes of blood at

least I had the butterfly stitch thingee done. That wasn't so

painful. All I know is I gotta get straight. I am thrilled I'm

balanced and but I'm worried something else must be wrong. I

couldn't get out of bed all weekend my husband said, I had to get

staightened out so I ran to Endo to get labs this morning. I will

know in a few days where I stand. I hope I don't have Hashimotoes

but that might explain my mood swings. If my graves is under control

and my thyroid hurts off and on I read in a book that I could have

this danger of getting Hashimotoes disease.

Anyway any thoughts?
