Three years ago I stopped smoking

Congratulations! I can certainly identify with how frustrating weight

fluctuation is (not to mention the expense involved in multiple

wardrobes, even if you do it as cheaply as I do) but you are infinitely

healthier now and I wish you success in keeping off the cigs.

Take care, Fay

I stopped smoking three times since 1990. Each time I quit

for about a year. Each time I had a Graves bout. I've

decided this time I won't return to smoking because the cost

is worse than its effects on health. I will let others pick

up the difference in tax lost on my abstinence.

But I do wonder about a possible correlation between

stopping and the Graves bouts. My endocrinologist said

there could be a connection -- stress. Wasn't sure whether

he meant stress over quitting or stress because I no longer

have a stress deviator and notice EVERYTHING everyone does

<big smile>.

Anyway, I thought I would throw this in to see if there are

others on the list who associate quitting smoking with an

onset of their Graves.

Hi ,

I just bought some Tonalin last week and haven't noticed anything yet

although I recently lost 10 lbs adding Metabolic Action, an herbal,

ephedrine-free

product by Puritan's Pride.

Shomon has several studies describing Tonalin on her about.com thyroid

site and the Life Extension Foundation described some studies using Tonalin

along with guarana, a caffeine-like substance. You can do a search on

www.lef.org

for that info. If you do a search on google, you should also find several

other studies. Best, Elaine

So would you say that guarana isn't recommended for hyper people, even if

stable on meds, or those in remission who fear a relapse (say, very

recent remission)?

Thanks and take care, Fay

Hi Fay,

We all have different senstivities to caffeine. If your thyroid labs are

stable and caffeine doesn't affect you much, it would probably be ok. But if

you're like me and find that too much caffeine makes you jittery, I'd skip the

guarana. Take care, Elaine
