    I was diagnosed with Grave's disease in 1991 after the birth of my son. I was treated with a radiation capsule and had a completely dead thyroid in 2 days. Living my good Synthroid life ever since.

    I'm a 47 year old male, this has being going on years for me, I finally got a diagnosis thanks to your presentation. Thank you Sir👍
  • Thanks so much for the info! I've went from 240 to 159, hand tremors ,shaking feelings, get sick feeling puking about 2 or 3 times a day. Eyes hurt, right eye went blurring from apparently cholesterol clogging veins in it. High BP and cholesterol. Among many other signs. Went to the eye doctor, and family doctor this week. Test came back that my thyroid is all messed up. Going back this week for more blood work, and there sending me to a thyroid specialist for testing and chest X rays. I'm only 38, this is scary. Thanks again, I feel much more educated and "prepared" for upcoming doctor information. From stuff I Been researching on my own, maybe Graves disease?
  • I have almost all of the sign and symptoms 😢 except for bulging eyes... only excessive tearing. I am on medication and doing blood works every week and once a month and my doctor sees improvement on my t3 results..and next week is my schedule for nuclear test, praying that all will goes well and hoping for a full recovery from hyperthyroidism. Everyday is not easy.... it's always a struggle especially for anxiety and depression.. my hand tremors and confusion is affecting my job..😔

    I just realized that I have all of the signs and symptoms except for weight loss. I'm gonna see the doctor. Thank you
  • Explained very well , I had all those symptoms and conditions to the Tee , my thyroid levels got put back into check with medication , and and started producing normal hormone levels , but one other thing I noticed is that my eyebrows start to thin out to almost disappearing and the same thing with my eye lashes , then I know hand tremors and other symptoms will start to occur , however , I started taking a B12 supplement , 500 mcg , and that stopped the syncope , but I do still feel like I want to pass out sometime , but it's just the feeling , but when that happens I take several deep breaths , hold them 5 seconds and then release them very slowly , and the passing out feeling goes away .
