Hello everyone, I am in need of some help. I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease, I am experiencing a lot of symptoms. I am very anxious and with the diagnosis I am very afraid of the medication they prescribed (Methimazole) as I tend to approach life with a more holistic lifestyle. So with the anxiety, muscle and joint pain, I have very little energy and tired a lot, I have trouble falling back asleep after waking, enlarged thyroid, some digestive issues and my eyes are starting to bulge. I haven’t seen the ophthalmologist yet but I have an appointment, I am seeing an Endocrinologist. I am just looking for advice for some relief from my symptoms. I am just 41 years old and really struggling with this diagnosis. I thank everyone in advance for any advice you may have. Thank you!!
Hi dear,
I was diagnosed with graves 2 months ago, I am 24 years old. I was feeling really strange, scared, blurry vision, sweating excessively, hart palpations and restlessly squeezing my muscles together. I asked for a bloodtest when I had a panick attack at work. Mind you I have never had this, I was tarveling the world by myself without any panick for years. I knew something was wrong a few months before. Also I lost my period. With lemom balm, bugle weed and motherwort my physical symptoms are basically gone which is such a relief. No more heart palpations, trembling, sweating. Ik 1,5 month I tested three times and my TSH is0,01 FT4 87 and has stayed the same. At first I was worried because I want better results fast ofcourse, when that didn’t happend I feel panick. But choosing the natural way just takes more time as nature grows and heals slowly but steady! I do believe strongly in this way I am taking. Also I am in the AIP diet, quit work, do yoga en thyroid exercises. While keeping my blood monitored. If it stays steady I will give it more time to heal if it gets worse I am open to take the medication. How are you doing now? What steps did you take? Hope my story could help you.
