Does Graves have the same problems and solutions?

I can tell you that my medication - levothyroxin - actually MAKES me depressed and angry. If I stop taking it I feel happy/content. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, besides MS, and have found that the tablets CAUSE me problems. I cannot speak for others, but I thought the tablets were supposed to HELP, not GIVE them problems.

I have Graves. I've had radioactive iodine and now I take thyroxine. I feel passed off all of the time. Very rare I feel well. Dunno what to do

I can't help but notice so many people close to me who have suffered greatly from all sorts of cancers (especially thyroid) and also happen to be young, have all had the flu shot or other vaccines a few months or less than a year prior to their diagnosis. Do you ask your patients ever when they first come to you if they have had any shots prior to their problems?
