Great discussion!

Thank you for this! There's so little out there for Hyperthyroid folks like me.

I'm sorry Paola I didn't see your comment before now. I have a couple of other Hyperthyroid episodes too so hope they help and many of the diet/lifestyle approaches overlap with the hypo folks. I'm so glad you found this conversation. :-)

Any information on children (10 yr old) with Graves Disease.

You could have a look on Dr Osanski's social media for information on Graves Disease in children. I have a child/teenage focused podcast episode with Tara Nelson which will help but is more Hashimoto's focused.

If you don't drink plastic bottle water, or tap water what can you drink? I don't see any water without plastic container.

Dr. Eric do you know female doctors, who had a diagnosis of “ Graves Disease “ like you, who took the Natural Approach and rejected the Antithyroid Medications, RAI, and Surgery? I am wondering if men with Graves Disease do not have it as bad as women do. My daughter was only 9 when they diagnosed her with Graves in 2015 because of me. I was exposed to the radiation ☢️ from Chernobyl in 1986, when I was 16 living in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 The only thing the Endocrinologists could do for me was to take part of my Thyroid in 1989, and then the whole Thyroid in 2002. My daughter has elevated TPO AB even though I do not. Being on “Methimazole” and “Propylthiouracil” for 5 years I was determined to not let my daughter go the same route like I did. She took the “ Bugleweed “ and “ Mellissa “ Lemon Balm, Vitamin D and several others and we were able to get her Thyroid levels normalised, except her TPO AB and it took about 2 years.

Hi Marie, Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I suggest you connect with Dr Eric via his Facebook page as he runs regular Q&A - he probably won't see this comment as it's on the Let's Talk Thyroid YT channel. You are also welcome to join my Let's Talk Thyroid Facebook group for support from other thyroid patients. Annabel x

Shots are a very common cause. It probably has nothing to do with your exposure.

Natural approaches are a lot of shooting in the dark and confusing causation and correlation. When it does or doesn't work things are always chalked up to "we are all so complex and things are complex. Some things work for some and not others" I'd love to see Dr. Erics bloodwork as like another comment below I also couldn't hardly walk I was so weak and dripping in sweat and felt like I was dying. Shaking in my hands and tongue. Methimazole was an absolute must! Proper dosing of methimazole (dosed evenly over the day in beginning phase 4 times daily.. never once a day!) and monthly bloodwork watching Free T4, Free T3 and TSH. As free T3 and Free T4 (most important to watch) approaches the upper end of the normal range land the plane softly and cut the dose in half of what you were doing and continue to monitor. Lots of people overshoot with an endocrinologist who tests every 6 weeks and is too slow to react. You can and will turn hypo symptomatically if you over suppress the thyroid. Once free T3 and free T4 are held steadily in the upper end of the normal range it's sometimes a waiting game for when TSH will normalize. Once TSH shows back up in range start testing Trab levels again to see if graves is still present. Once TSH is normalized cut methimazole down to a very small dose daily and slowly pull off of it only making changes after each bloodwork. Always get bloodwork in the morning same lab before 9am on empty stomach for consistency. Also it should be noted in males higher Testosterone is a symptom of Graves and will normalize in time. Elevated AlkPhos is also a symptom of graves due to its effect on the liver. This disease is so mistreated by endocrinologists. Better treated by some Naturopathic doctors and botched by many so called gurus in natural approaches. The absolute best advice anyone can give is to do everything you can to focus on mindfulness spirituality and eliminating stress and anxiety as much as possible. This will be your biggest hurdle as it doesn't come easy to do such a task when you have a hormone imbalance. Be patient with yourself! Seek counseling. Let time and tried and true methods heal you. If you can't be on Antithyroid medication. The above won't apply to you. But for the vast majority of people who can this will work!

I have been on carbimazole for the six years recently my doctor advised me to stop taking carbimazole since my thyroid is under control What if it relapse? what would be the treatment

@letstalkthyroid Ай бұрын

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I can't advise on treatment, but this is worth asking the dr who is advising you to stop taking it. I wish you good health.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply to your message. I'm sorry you're suffering so much with Graves. I hope some of the ideas Dr Osansky shares may give you some new things to try. I wish you all the best.
