Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Okay, lets try this again: Forwarded message: From: Mylene Tsienyev I am very new this and would like to ask for some help or information on how I can go about proceeding with taking the proper steps to know what is really going on. I haven't been formally diagnosed with Grave's disease. I've had very elevated blood pressure for months now. Upon reading and doing research about Grave's, I have been going through the usual symptoms that others have had. Lost weight, hypertension, heart palpitations that keep me up at night, sleeplessness, and mood swings and others. I have dramatically lost a lot of my hair, thinking it was just because of stress. Awful migraines, couldn't figure out if it was from the hypertension. As of now I do not have medical insurance which makes everything difficult. I cannot afford to get regular medical attention, on top of the fact that I haven't found a doctor I'm able to work with. But I do want to be prepared to know the first steps I should take. What questions I should be asking, the proper blood test I should request for, so no extra unnecessary tests will be taken. I cannot stand doctors who only look at the obvious and pound you with prescription drugs that will fix this and that. I need to know what further to look for symptom or physical wise about me also. So far the info on the websites you've suggested have been very helpful. I definitely know one thing, I need help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
