Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hello all. It's me again, the new member with the daughter just diagnosed with graves. Well she decided to go ahead and have the RAI done. She had the pill yesterday and the scan today. It showed that her thyroid was only operating at 6%. So they didn't do anything and she now has to see her endo again. Her symptoms are: raspy voice, anxiety, sweating, loss of concentration, nervousness, weight loss, sore throat, fatigue, tremors, cough, frequent bowel movements, irregular periods, aching joints, chest and back pain, head aches, ear and eye pain. Can anyone give me an idea of what is going on with her. When she had her last TSH, it had bottomed out they said, but she doesn't know the figure. Oh, I forgot to mention the swollen thyroid, which he said was thyrotoxicosis. I know this is a lot of info and really no actual figures to give you but I'm sure someone on here knows a lot more about this than I do. Any help would be appreciated. Betsy Each morning I wake up, I choose to take a step forward, A step back, or remain the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
