Comments:
never have i felt so alone as the last 5 years of my life. I live in a small town therefore, i have never met anyone else with this disease. When i began reading your personal story about GD i began to cry. Finally, someone out there understands what i go through on a daily basis. I sometimes think my family & friends think i'm crazy. I was starting to think i was too! You will never know what it feels like to talk to someone who understands. Although I still suffer terribly , and some days just feel as if i can't take it anymore, I now know I am not alone. If anyone would like to talk about this PLEASE DO. Thanks Sue!

Yesterday after the tests were completed I was told that I have have Graves Disease. Really came as a relief after going years running very hot. Just recently though I started to loose weight and my muscles were shaking for no apparent reason. My doctor was right on top of the problem and ordered a thyroid blood test that day. After reading other people's stories on this site I feel very fortuate. Thank God that we live in a day and age where these things can be treated. Larry

Hi, The medical profession has a lot of rethinking to do. Now that know the other symptoms, i've probably had the problem longer. The symptom that started me was this incesent itch and breaking out. 6 weeks of torture and an allergist finally did the correct test, Mind you i see an endocrynologist for diabetes...My worst fear was that i might be allergic to my parrots {ha,ha}. I'm waiting for the e.doc to rec. the blood results and hope to start some regime Mon. Thanks for listening. Sandybird

I am at this email address until April. Then I will be back with my home address, which is margie@bbtel.com I had a Thyroid 'storm' on Thanksgiving day 1995. I was diagnosed by December and was mostly controlled by April of '96. I have a very good Dr. and she keeps close watch on me. I am having a very hard time with weight gain and desperately need help. I is late at night now and I will re-visit your page tomorrow. Thank you so much for being here. Margie

Just wanted to commend you on a page well done. I've had GD for about 5 years now (diagnosed at 13) and have often felt alone, despite much family and medical support. It is nice to find people who share my interest and experiences. Thank you.
