How I recovered From Hyperthyroidism / Graves Disease
Vložit

- Gosh, having Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism hasn't been easy. Today, I open up and share with you how I managed my symptoms, and FINALLY went into remission years later; ALL of my symptoms finally GONE. I'm so proud that I believed in myself, even when the doctors told me it was impossible and that my body wouldn't go back to being "normal". I'm SO glad I continued trying to get healthy... Needless to say, I went on a journey of health and wellness, leading to a greater understanding within myself that mind, body, and soul are all connected. This is my personal story, and I hope that it can help somebody else out there... Not to say it will be the same for you as it was for me; we are all different and unique. But, it is my hope that I can offer some sort of inspiration to you, or some hope, and that in turn, you're able to go down your own path of health and wellness. My love to you all, XO.

*MR OBALAR* ON CZcams CURED ME TOTALLY…
I was diagnosed 11 years ago . Still have my thyroid gland and i dont take any medications. Stay positive
I have hyperthyroidism too. 18 months taking carbimazole and stopped the meds for 1 year I thought I'm also on remission but after 1 year of not taking meds it came back so I'm now on meds again. 😢 Everyday I'm wishing and praying to get my life back, the best version of myself, the better me version. That's the only thing that I wanted now, nothing else in this world.
This was very interesting to me. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 6 years ago when I turned 40. I finally went to the dr because I had uncontrollable itching!! It felt internal and I felt like I was going crazy!! Luckily my dr knew immediately what was likely going on. My thyroid was swollen. I had rapid heartbeat and tremors. And I had lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I was on medication for about a year. They wanted me to have radiation or surgery and I just couldn’t do it. Weaned myself off the medication because I could tell I was getting better. Fast forward to yesterday. Had my levels checked for the first time in 4 years. Totally normal. Go figure!!!
How
Totally normal miracle cure how ?. Thanks ❤
I start methimazole today! I want to get better. I have a visible goiter! My biopsy came back benign but I will have my first scan in 4 month, cause dr wants to see what will happen when medication is taken. You give me hope!
I am sooooo proud of you. For you to recognize that food is such an important key in being heathy. I am 63 had RA for decades and healed by changing my diet. I eat a whole food plant based diet , no sugar no oils, and I feel great no meds. You can now pass what you have learned onto your children so they can grow up healthy.
I was really sick as well. I had done research and knew it was my thyroid. I kept going in, they did just the TSH test. Kept telling me I was fine because I was in the “normal” range. I was done. I was too tired to keep fighting. My son was with me and he blurted out, do an ultrasound. They did. 26 nodules. The next day I found out I had thyroid cancer. You have to be your own champion in getting better. So you work with the doctor and not just follow the doctor.
oh wow! Thank you for sharing your story. This is what I've found as well! You HAVE to be your own advocate, because only you know you the best.... I'm so glad you caught the thyroid cancer. How are you doing now? Has it been many years?
Same, awaiting my results 😢
Hey I was diagnosed with graves/hyperthyroidism four years ago but methimazole made me so nauseous. Instead, I went gluten free,dairy free, and caffeine free along with KETO to treat my disease. I went into remission within three months and have stayed in remission for four years. For the hair loss I started taking Hair La Vie. It has made my hair really thick again like when I was young and my natural curl is back more than ever. I just thought I would share that with everyone. Plus, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis because of the graves. I have been taking AlgaeCal bone building package and have gone from osteoporosis to mixed osteoporosis and osteopenia, to just osteopenia. I am building my bone density without one of those “bone building medications” that do NOT actually build bones and cause horrific side effects. It can be done naturally. By the way, I asked my doctor to test me for thyroid issues for nine years before she finally agreed to test me. And I was in the Air Force for 22 years and those doctors never even suspected that the racing heart, the palpitations, the tremors, and the crazy high anxiety level were indicative of a problem.
Hi there. I have been recently diagnosed and am not taking the prescribed medication because im pregnant and there are a lot of side effects. Would you mind telling me more about your diet changes and if you kept it the same after going into remission? Thank you!!
My mom has hyperthyroidism and I have the same request if you could tell us more about your diet. When you say dairy-free does that mean completely stopping all dairy products butter, milk yogurt cheese everything?
So absolutely NO dairy…no yogurt, no ice cream, no cheese, no butter, no milk, no dairy period. AND NO GLUTEN!!! You’ve got to read labels. Nothing with any wheat/flour. Plus no caffeine because it causes heart palpitations and increased anxiety. Oh and just in case you don’t know, soy is super bad if you have HYPERTHYROIDISM.
You are so right… first, we have to be our own health advocates, because nobody knows our bodies better than we do ourselves, not even the doctors. Not that they don’t academically know more than we do, but finding a doctor who truly listens is literally vitally significant. And I completely agree that THE number one factor to any “dis-ease” in our bodies is due to stress. Of course what we eat and our physical activity are also important elements as is spiritual and emotional well being. I’m a senior woman now and still learning and evolving. I could be my own medical journal of things that have gone wrong with my body and mind due to my own neglect, BUT I refuse to give up, and am in a place of harmony now as I shed excess weight (75 pounds so far!) and find new ways to keep moving. That you are so young and at this level of understanding is so commendable. I’m so looking forward to watching you and learning from you as your life moves forward into new adventures, especially with you and Dan soon to welcome the little one. ❤️💕
Congratulations!!! That is great to hear! I have Graves Disease as well and I was in remission for 6 months and now I’m back to taking my meds. Took me a couple of years to be diagnosed as well. I knew something was wrong….we know our bodies!
I love your videos Steph. You helped me so much when I first found out I had breast cancer and I’m still watching you today. It’s been several weeks since I had chemo and I still don’t have any hair. I’ve bought about 5 wigs although when I’m at home I don’t wear them either and since I’m retired I very seldom have any place to wear them but I do love them. All because I saw how real they looked on you.
Thanks for this chat Steph it's very helpful. I should like you do a chat about handling stress and anxiety please. By the way your baby bump is soo cute 💝 sounds really lovely where you live x
*Diet and lifestyle can do so much good!* My aunt struggled with hyperthyroidism and the hair loss that came with it. They put her on a synthetic hormone which helped but she wasn’t interested in being on any pill for the _rest of her life._ So she ditched it, did a lot of research and opted to start with an elimination diet: no gluten, dairy, processed sugar, caffeine/coffee and alcohol.
She focused on cleaning up the gut and gentle movement of the body (walking, swimming,etc nothing HIIT related as it raises stress hormones/cortisol) and advocates getting bare feet in contact with the ground (a practice called “grounding”) and it’s made a night and day difference for her.
Thank you for this video. I'm glad to know your move has been good & that you are feeling healthy and well! You have helped me SO MUCH with the content you place on this channel, & I am sincerely grateful. After years of buying into detrimental ways to achieve "socially acceptable" hair- it became clear I would have to find alternative ways to care for my own. As it turns out, my husband was not keen on less frequent washing & no heat treatments. SO- about 8 months ago I began to try wearing wigs. Your channel is my favorite. You are very inspiring! I now see wigs as a way to protect our own hair & to step into public places with the kind of cinematically perfect hair that people enjoy seeing. Your journey proves that the human body can regain health naturally, something I have always believed. I no longer accept allopathic ideas & only work with a naturopath. Thank you so much for creating this space and for helping so many!
I got diagnosed recently. Thanks for this video and speaking about mind body connection and adrenaline. It has really clarified a lot for me. Thanks.
I am so glad!! Wishing you health and recovery ❤️
I was diagnosed in 2006, I had the racing heart, bulging eyes, etc. I went on meds and I was one of the few who was allergic to the meds and broke out head to toe with hives and heat rash. I ended up having the radio active iodine and it took 6 years to get my thyroid meds right. I was so depressed with hair loss and bulging eyes. Now I’m buying wigs, and still getting used to it
You’re amazing and so beautiful.
Double Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
This is a superb video!👏🏾
Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Wishing you a safe delivery and a healthy baby .
May God bless you and the baby🙏🏾
🙏AMEN🙏
16:21 You are definitely reaching people. I feel grateful to people like you, who share their experience especially around not being listened to by doctors. In the interest of limiting stress, I won’t go into my journey with that because it’s not over BUT I feel strength to go on by knowing I’m not alone even if I have no idea what I have or if I’ll ever be properly diagnosed. What you said about stress and that it’s not realistic (paraphrasing) to cut it out but we can maybe absorb it differently? That’s something I’ve GOT to try to do . After over a year of feeling like I’m the only person who knows something’s wrong and the only person with no say in actions taken or not taken, I’ve reacted with so much anger inside and plenty that i’ve let out too so I’ve really isolated myself. Finally it’s gotten so bad dermatologically that they can’t say it’s “fine” anymore that people are just starting to listen to me and forced to take action but it’s after so long of being alone with it. It’s so hard for me to be okay with anyone in my orbit suggesting things with no information or assuming that the person dealing with the symptoms would have probably considered and tried ____(fill in the blank). I can’t imagine being so secure with my suggestion after hearing some symptoms and pondering it for 5 minutes as to tell someone decisively ANYTHING. So I have cut a lot of people out of my life who i guess never took me seriously to begin with. Whelp. See how angry I get? Annnnyway, LOL. So yeah I’m a real fun person to be around as you might see, I’m basically feral at this point and that’s why I appreciate your honesty about your journey and your emotions etc. This is a long and hopefully not too depressing thank you 😅
HI!!! I Love the realness of your message. I felt it deeply!!! I feel the same, and it definitely destroyed me, especially at the beginning, when people would see my thinning hair and tell me that I should take this or that vitamin, or try a hair re-growth serum…. It frustrated me SO much. Because it’s really not that simple.
I honestly get exactly what you’re saying, thank you for sharing 🙏 I appreciate you!!
Hello Steph! First of all, congratulations for being in remission, and also for having a baby. I am also suffering from hyperthyroidism since last year, I lose a lot of weight, had hair loss, my anxiety and depression was severe, same goes with fatigue.
I had a surgery last year but only half was removed because my surgeon thought it was “toxic adenoma” since I had nodules as well on the left side.
I also aim to be in remission, hope 2024 will be a good year for me. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hi Steph, I am so glad that I stumbled upon all of your videos. I have been losing my hair for a few years due to alopecia. It has been very frustrating, heart wrenching, emotional, and hard. I used to have very thick, beautiful, curly hair, and now I am, almost bald and I didn’t know where to start with wigs, but I stumbled upon your videos and it has helped me so very much. I’m excited to actually learn more about wigs and to start getting some wigs so that I can feel confident again. Thank you so much for your channel. Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy every single one of them.
Hi Valerie! Welcome to my little wig family ❤ I'm so happy to have you here. I feel everything you've just spoken to me.... oh my goodness, hair loss can be so challenging. It can be difficult to see past it sometimes. Wigs have honestly changed my life FOR THE BETTER, in SO many ways. Like, to the point where the average person doesn't know hair loss is something I struggle with, because wigs look SO real these days that nobody gives it a second thought, and it truly has given me my confidence back. I wish this exact feeling for you!!!! I can't wait to hear more from you =) XO
You have no idea the difference you have made in my life with this video. Thank you!
I’m so glad I could be of some help xoxo ❤️
I'm in Calgary and controlling hyperthyroid naturally. Thank you. Welcome to Calgary!!!
How?
Hey happy Monday Steph, i love your vibe and positivity . You are so sweet and really inspire me with my journey of hair losa due to chemo and treatment for breast cancer . I am struggling to feel.myself and experimenting with wigs . I used to have a beachy brown rooted blonde boho hair style below my shoulders and cannot find a wig.for my petite head, any suggestions for me 😊❤ ( I liked simmer on you ) Im triyng to find a low density hand tied cap as i am a 64 yr old petite lady .
Thank you so much for making this video, would love to have another in depth food choices you had to made during and after remission, also please make a video how you reversed your eye condition and when you started noticing the change ?
Thanks for sharing. So glad you're grave's disease has gotten better and that you're hair has grown in more. I have scarring alopecia, but even my dermatologist has admitted that sometimes treatments can help hair grow back. My hair hasn't grown back but it no longer falling out. I started wearing wigs to take the pressure off which I think will help my hair grow more and even if it doesn't I certainly feel better. I think that you are so right trying to improve things naturally instead of just going for cutting out your thyroid. You are so young and look if. You tried everything to no avail then at least you know you have done everything you could do
You might be interested in dr Peter Osborne's videos on alopecia and causes of hairloss in general ❤️
Thank you for your inspiring story.
When you felt that you were out of remission, how did you fix that?
Thanks for sharing your story. I have T1 diabetes, PCOS and hypothyroidism, so a real endocrine trifecta. My hair hasn’t been thick since I was a teenager probably, and trying to work with it is beyond frustrating. I also have Trichotillomania (hair pulling) that comes on in times of anxiety, and having short hair keeps that at bay. Wigs have been a godsend for so many reasons!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had some nervous/anxiety habits as well.... mine was biting the skin around my nails.... it's why I wear fake nails sometimes to get me to stop if I have had a stressful couple of weeks and notice me doing that bad habit again LOL....
Thank you for your information I too have graves hyperthyroid totally not my self you gave me such a i spratation to know things can change I have totslly giving up on my doctors ever finding answers to a problem
Thank you. So helpful. ❤
Thanks for share this, I had the same problem like you, could you please share some your diet
Thank you for sharing this. There have been many times doctors recommended things to me- surgery, medications that I refused. I’m ok and I didn’t need it. People forget they are a bu$ine$$. …. And one that has a high cost in running, so they don’t really care to help you save your health. This isn’t a personal diss to practitioners but more of a modern business model of our current healthcare system.
Diet is a HUGE factor in health. Exercise is necessary for one’s body to work correctly since so much of bodily functions are greatly affected by lack of movement, primarily digestive, lymphatic and cardiovascular. And I should clear up that when I say ‘exercise’ I don’t mean CrossFit or some gym rat type life- I mean just getting active. Stress minimization is absolutely key too. These 3 things don’t always clear up a medical issue, but if you can do better in these 3 things, it will certainly help.
I’m happy to hear you are doing well.
Hello i have hyperthyrodism and i took medecin for a year,was on a remission for a year,now i am out of remission iwent under stress and depression that flared up my hyperthirodism im on medication now a week ago im considering gluten free and dairy free diet to heal my immunity i have graves basdow desease your video just put some hope inside my heart ❤
I was diagnosed with graves 1,5 years ago. I was really bad and lost bone density, got heart problems etc. The first docor i met took the thyroid tests right away and sent me to an endocrinologist. I started medication right after diagnosis, and already within a week i felt my body was slowing down. Im still taking it and get tested every 6 weeks. I feel great and safe and so thankful for free healthcare, medical professionals, research and LIFE ❤.
Absolutely! That is phenomenal a doctor listened to you and had enough practice to understand what to send you out to be tested for. I'm so very glad to hear you are doing much better ❤ God bless
We will miss you in Toronto but very best wishes for your new life in Calgary! You're the sweetest! Any names for little baby-girl-in-waiting yet??
I have psoriasis and probably other autoimmune things going on, but the psoriasis is causing my hair to fall out. So, I am exploring the idea of wigs and am happy to find your channel. Thank you for making it!
Please continue to share personal information on this and other concerns.
I was just diagnosed with Graves & Hyperthyroidism. I'm hesitant to take the medication. I'm still learning about my diagnosis & I'm interested in how I can change my health on my own. Thank you for sharing, I definitely needed to hear what you had to say!
You need to start something soon. If you don’t get treatment you could get worse from the hyperthyroidism symptoms.
@blancagutierrez Thank you, I actually started taking the medication this week. Looking forward to feeling better.
@@riv30333how are you feeling now?
I started taking my medicine Bec this illness is so crazy.
@zenytamboongstark4485 it's been less than a month since I started the medication, and I already feel a lot better, and my blood work has improved!
Good for you for believing in yourself, listening to your body and advocating for yourself with your doctors! We know our bodies better than doctors and my experience with them is that not all of them are good at their jobs. We had multiple doctors turn my son away when he began having seizures as a baby and was told to take Tylenol. Had one good doc not identified the problem and gotten him testing, he may have died from status epilepticus and the underlying brain tumor that caused it. I love your channel! You may want to remind people to like your videos so you can make more income. People forget to hit the like button when browsing and I’ve noticed the people that get the most likes remind people each video that liking the video helps. Thanks for sharing your story! Currently I’m getting in to wigs due to skin cancer and hair loss on my scalp.
Hi! oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this! I have my little baby now and I couldn't bare the thought of a doctor not listening to me if I sought out there help! I'd be so upset. I'm so glad you were able to find a good doctor who would test your son. How is he doing now?
Thank you for the recommendations to ask people to like my video! I guess I just never wanted to be annoying ... lol... but maybe I will start to do that because you do make a good point! I just always hoped if someone liked my video, they would hit that button, but you're right, people probably forget lol =)
I really am not sure why my hair has fallen. I do enjoy wigs for me it is more work but I do it because I look so much better with it. Also wear wig grip like you I feel like people can see the wig grip but it is what it is. I am thankful that I have the wigs available to me.
It’s so wild that they didn’t want to test your thyroid levels, when that’s part of a normal routine blood test (I have hypothyroidism and didn’t have to specifically ask for them to test for it initially; it was just part of a yearly physical exam).
OMG Steph, I think that's what my Dr wants to do... cut my thyroid out and I'm not sure about the iodine.. they want to do a REE on me next week!! I feel kindred spirits with you 💕 and and the information you give is so valuable!!!
I will do it your way , it's safer for my body... I don't eat much sweets but crave cinnamon graham crackers!!!🤔😳go figure 😅 congratulations on your marriage, the move to Calgary and of course your pregnancy...Step, I love your honesty, your truth and your stunning beauty.
Same here I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and hashimoto immune disease at the AGE 19, and was told I have to take insulin med FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Did that for a few months and decided to explore the whole ordeal in my own hands. I changed my diet, changed my living habit, lost 50 pounds, and never looked back. All the symptoms are gone once I lost the weight. I am 38 now and never had any problem with thyroid and blood work check is always normal since age 20. I maintained my habits and weight for more than 10 years too.
What did you change your diet to?
Please explain more about the diet
Did you dye the wig? You look gorgeous x
You are beautiful God bless you and your family 🙏❤️🙏
Freezing bread and then toasting it before you eat it gets rid of much of the starch and sugars in it. I hope this is helpful. Thank you for sharing what you have been going through. Congratulations on the baby. ♥ You have a beautiful spirit. I wish you and your family the best.
It’s the gluten that does thyroid suffers in..
@@In_timeNot true for me, I am gluten free and was diagnosed with graves.
@@SparkyOne549 _“does thyroid sufferers in”_ as in _doesn’t help us._
@@SparkyOne549Did you know that there are various other kinds of gluten apart from the most commonly found in wheat.,barley and rye? If you really want to be totally gluten free, you should avoid all grain. More information on dr Peter Osborne's videos.
@@grace-dt7tu I’ve been gluten free for decades, I know what not to eat.
I regret taking hypothyroid medication when I was first diagnosed 7 years ago. I always wonder if I would have gotten into remission had I taken a more aggressive, holistic approach. Why? Because I saw a difference in my labs within two weeks of natural supplements, but I was still symptomatic. Unfortunately, I didn't have the guidance or support from medical providers then, despite seeing a Naturopath, which I later fired. I remember doctors telling me this is a common disease; you just need to take Levo, and you'll be fine. Essentially, dismissing the disease.
Flash forward, I achieved remission once; my antibodies were under 30, which doctors consider remission. However, I was still symptomatic. Now, since seven months ago, I have lost over 70 percent of my hair. It's devasting, to say the least, especially having been dealing with it all these years. I now own two wigs.
Thank you for talking about your Graves. I was diagnosed when I was 19 and I am still struggling. Right now my thinning hair has been the hardest part emotionally. I want to know, realistically, what my hair could look like if I ever get into remission. Would you ever share what your natural hair looks like?
For sure! Also in my try-on wig reviews, my hair is shown when I take the wig off and put it back on :) but I do plan on doing a video just on my own hair too!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Question do you still take methimizole?
Hi! No, I don’t. I am completely in remission now, and have been for several years now and haven’t needed to take methimazole since I went into remission
Same for me. It's devastating for me
Hey Steph, I really appreciate this video and that you mention stress and food is an important role for healing.
But for the Keto diet, you ate no fruit too? And no carbs at all?
Thank you
With Keto, I ate low carbs, and some fruit. With the low carbs, I’d make sure that when I ate them, they were healthy carbs and not chips from a bag if that makes sense :)
@@WigsWithSteph That definitely makes sense ! Appreciate your reply Steph ! Take care and keep it up with your videos
I have adult type 1 diabetes so my thyroid was well monitored. Tested in April and all was normal. In October I noticed my resting heart rate was high. Went to a cardiologist and after lots of testing could not find anything wrong. Also ended up in ER with speech difficulties that went away. Decided to test my thyroid labs. I am a nurse so was next logical step. My Endo was so shocked when it came back hyperthyroid. Wanted to do radioactive iodine but I also had thyroid eye disease. So was ruled out. Had great results with methimazole. Endo still has me on 2.5 mg a week. So that’s doable. Did have Tepezza infusions for TED and that was successful. That was not fun. Endo still asks if I want to ablate my thyroid at every visit. I’m like duh why.
Hi Steph, how long after starting methamazole to first remission?
Thanks for this. My tsh was at .1 when I was pregnant with my last child- it’s gone up a bit since then to .46 which is “normal”. The tachycardia still persists so it makes me wonder if my thyroid is still overactive.
Thank You for Sharing❤️
Thank you for this video,I have grave disease I don't know what to do
Hey Steph, you mentioned wearing Mesmerized in the description, but I think you linked to a different wig.
Oh my goodness! I’m sorry! Thank you for letting me know. I’ve updated the link ❤️
Hey where did my comment go? Overall inspiring story and journey 😊
Just retyping
Seeing food as fuel not pleasure
Went out of remission due to stress
Stress can trigger @9:24
Too much adrenaline @9:55
Even exciting things can flare up symptoms. Constant adrenaline
If you feel like something is off, you are right 11:31
Doctors not acknowledging
Could you share more about what you did with your diet beyond low sugar / whole foods? Did you eliminate anything?
I've benefited a lot from dr Peter Osborne's videos on curing autoimmune diseases with a proper diet 💚
❤ this video.
Thanks Shell ❤
12:34 Calgary!!! We HAVE TO have a play date! (For the baby…haha) The CZcams algorithm is next level. I’m also a mom and just moved.
I agree with u 💯 this is what I just told my son that STRESS was the biggest factor on hyperthyroidism....and I'm like u I don't want to do the iodine radiation or surgery...I'll take the methamazol and do as u reduce /control stress(which is my husband) I was so good without him I was so healthy and no stress when I left him...I knew that the minute that I moved back in with him I started to get sick with everything!!! I keep telling everyone that he is the sole problem to my health declining...u just confirmed it...cause if ur body/mind doesn't stress then ur hormones, and all body organs work together as they should...amen🙏🏻
Yes!!! That was the same with me and my ex. I swear he made me sick…. When I left, I felt better. Whenever we came back together, I got sick again. This is 100% it. I’m so happy you’ve come to that realization for yourself too.
I get so upset when my physicians say you will be alright, no! I just do not feel right is my exact words as well!
Hello! I was told by my endocrinologist that if you are pregnant your levels get better and then it can be triggered again after birth and treatment has to start again if you stooped during pregnancy with the pregnant safe medication. Could you please give us an update? Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you for doing this video. I had hyperthyroid and graves disease. I went with their advise and had it radiated. The problem with this is they have no control of how much it takes. I then became Hypothyroid and I am on Synthroid. I did not loose my hair then but now I have hair loss due to Alapicia.
I did regret getting my Thyroid radiated, I have known people that like you went into remission. It was a battle with weight gain years after the radiation.
Thank you for sharing your story. I can feel for you. I remember how much the doctors pressured me just to remove my thyroid, "just kill it" they said... "you'll feel better" they said. But it was coming from a doctor that never had thyroid issues themselves and I felt so untrusting of them lol.... My dad also has hypothyroid, and takes synthroid. He talks similar to what you've said. You're not alone. thank you so much for sharing ❤
@@WigsWithSteph I've had Hashimotos since 1999. I have actually asked a few doctors to just remove my thyroid, since my immune system is attacking it and it's full of holes. They insist its best to keep it. One of my doctors had Hashis himself and had decided not to remove his own thyroid. Hopefully that's the right choice. My TSH levels are all over the place, high then low. I just can't get it stabilized. Have tried Synthroid, generic and Armour thyroid.
I've also had Alopecia Universalis since 2011, completely bald. At one point I didn't even have eyelashes, which was so ugly and also you need them to protect your eyes! I'm very thankful now to have them back and a couple eyebrow hairs. Thank God for wigs! Thank YOU for your honesty and also for opening up your comment section as a place of community.
I was diagnosed with Graves disease Hyperthyroidism about 5 years ago. The HUGE stresser was the death of my youngest Son Austin. Depression and anxiety meds really screwed up my stomach, and now I'm taking Methimazole for my hyperthyroidism. My Endocrinologist keeps wanting to either remove or do radioactive iodine to kill my thyroid. I won't do it. He also doesn't believe that diet plays a part in healing the thyroid. I found a holistic, alternative Doctor. I wanted to get off of the meds for depression and anxiety, which I weaned off of. The holistic doctor has me taking herbs and other natural things to heal my stomach and my thyroid numbers are getting better since my stomach is healing and my diet is better. The Endo doc has slightly decreased my Methimazole. I go every 6 weeks for blood work, so we'll see what my numbers are after the next blood tests. When I saw my Endo doc a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was seeing the holistic doctor, and wrote down what he has me taking, and my Endo doc wouldn't even acknowledge that since I started healing my stomach, AND better diet, my thyroid numbers are getting better.
I am so very sorry to hear about your son. My Endo was the same where she wouldn’t acknowledge diet, and made me feel so silly for thinking that would help me. My dad is also a doctor, although retired now, and he was really the only one in my corner that supported me and kept telling me my whole body was connected. If one thing was off, it can throw the rest off. It was that idea that kept me looking after my body, mind, stomach, and once I reached a place where I was mentally strong again, physically, and healthy with what I ate, everything changed. It took my body a long time to go into remission… but it still happened. And my Endo doc was so wrong. I saw many Endo docs (not sure if I said that in this video- but because I moved about three times, I had about three doctors who all said the same thing and wouldn’t acknowledge diet or any opinion I had on my own health.) You’re definitely doing the right thing. Especially if you’re taking all the necessary steps to feel good again; nobody knows you better than you. Thank you so much for sharing your own story with us.

New diagnosis in Feb I went thru the storm and I'm alive but I need y'all

I have a extreme case of Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism and am also loosing my hair with clumps my doctor has never seen a case like mine mind you I’m pediatric and I was so out of range like severely if anybody has tips for loosing your hair I need them
This was exactly me. My doctor hadn’t seen such a severe case and my hair was also coming out in clumps ❤️ my eyes were bulging out of my head too and hurt constantly. I hope you are able to get better and feel better! I know how terrible this disease is and how it makes you feel like you can’t even function. You are in my thoughts and prayers ❤️
Definitely stress anxiety ❤
I have hypothyroidism. My first symptom was feeling tired all the time.
Look in to iodine supplementation. My Dr wanted me on meds but I found Lugols Iodine solution - I take 20 drops with a healthy fat ( nuts seeds) in my smoothie and everything came back to normal. Start off low dose 5 drops and work up. Lots of info on CZcams
❤❤❤
Omg that wig suits you. You would not think its a wig. My god its liks your own hair ❤
Were you taking medication for all years?
Yes I was because I was an extreme case and the meds I was on kept me balanced and within levels.
My friend has graves disease, no hairloss but his eyes pop out
My eyes popped out too... In my other video I talk about all my symptoms. My eyes really bothered me... especially because one popped out more than the other. I thought it was very obvious, and unfortunately I had that symptom for a LONG time. Years. That symptom and my hair loss annoyed me the most
