I had all 3 Covid vaccines as they rolled out in the UK then got Covid in September 2022 by January 2023 I had Graves and TED … I have had total thyroidectomy about 5 weeks ago as I was not a candidate for remission apparently as Trabs were so severely high at diagnosis and I am having first of several eye surgeries in 3 weeks time ( constant double vision and wear an eye patch - already been told after eye surgery will likely need prisms for life as damage to my eyes so bad - surgeon will do the best he can and high risk of re operation on my presentation ) .. I am convinced Covid triggered these diseases. Nobody in my family has Graves ..

Will the surgery prevent the development of TED if I don’t already have it?

Can you speak to combination therapy of adding levothyroxine in when methimizol is working but driving thyroid levels too low?

Can you speak to antibodies remaining? Is it true that the antibodies need to go away completely? Or that some can remain in “ normal range”? In my mind they need to be gone completely. I was taken off methimizol once my thyroid remained “ in range” then the hyperthyroid returned. What about combination levothyroxine and methimizol? So the methimizol can do its work bringing down antibodies but Levo can hold things steady?

I was 40 years of age and perfectly healthy, 2 weeks after the moderna vaccine, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, then Graves disease then thyroid eye disease. I never had a problem with my thyroid before, it doesn't run in my family, I never caught covid. It's the vaccine it triggered an immune response in my body and now I have this incurable horrific disease.

Thank you

Thank you for explaining that! My endocrinologist didn’t explain why, just said that he did not recommend RAI for me as I have some eye symptoms.

The new studies done by the Iranian researcher were encouraging! I understand that after some years a very low dose can maintain normal levels ,but what are the levels people took during the 3-4-5 and 10 years in his study please? Im an American living in England (27years)and am being treated with Carbimazole, which I assume is virtually identical to Methimazole.I have also been treated in the USA,France ,and Netherlands.In 2006 indeed my American endocrinologist sent me straight for RAI.I declined and escaped to France .I stayed on Carbimazole 6-7 years and was on 2.5 mg before stopping and going into remission ,which lasted over 10years . Relapsed 2 years ago . Thank you .

How can you NOT have trauma as a predisposition factor?! And a GI Map as part of the treatment.

If your t4, t4, tsh levels are in nor.al range and your TSI levels return to normal, do you continue on low long-term antithyroid medication? I know Dr Eve Bloomgarden says no because it will cause hypothyroidism, but is that what Dr Cooper says? Or do you go off it and then go back if you relapse?

I feel like I'm dying

I need your information I have this condition where are you guys located I need help

How is RAI / Thyroid removal surgery is a solution if you still need to take hypothyroid pill after that anyway, yet my doctor recoomended it?

1) Please consider adding ACE scores to your data to assess correlation to autoimmune diseases. 2) My symptoms began in highschool, but was neglected by HMO for years with multiple issues until a full blown thyroid storm. It would be ideal for helpful for such subtle diseases to be made known to freshman students along with A&P. What good is math and English if your health is falling apart. Let's advocate for thyroid patients before the disease takes its toll.

Very informative webinar

i am curious re how many people have both Graves and Hoshimotos. i do and know it’s very rare and challenging to manage

What about Micriwave ablation and crytoablatiin...or others that saves part of thyroid?

Was diagnosed with graves last month. Low TSH high t3 and t4. Only had communication with endocrinologist on mychart. I also have endometriosis. I have multiple food allergies emerge in the last 3 years. I’ve been gluten free for decades because of digestive issues since I was a child. My symptoms are: osteoporosis of my lower spine. Anxiety through the roof, fatigue, muscle loss and weakness, with knots, weight loss (30lbs), sleepiness, I sleep a lot. Tachycardia and palpitations, itchiness with dry flaky skin, hot and cold all day long. Tremors hands and legs, Hair loss and thinning, extreme hunger with multiple bowel movements, liver numbers are concerning. I’ve been in menopause for 2 years. 52 yo. I get angry with world events, very angry. Exhaustion. My primary doctor doesn’t know anything about graves, said I was only the 3rd person with it in the hospital network. I like him, but not knowing anything about it is off putting. I haven’t seen my endocronologist yet, only through a video chat, and she talked so fast, it was hard for me to remember our chat.

My thyroid was perfect until after I got COVID back in June 2020. Then I noticed my TSH drop to 0.3 and free T3 increase to just barely over the high end of normal at 4.4. Then my mom passed away and I got a severe throat infection around the same time which was Feb of this year 2023. Did a Z-pack and cleared the throat infection and then in July 2023 end up in the hospital with fast heart rate 120-130bpm at rest. My TSH was <0.000 and my free T4 was 4.4. I was kept overnight in hospital and then released on MMI 5mg 3x per day and 10mg 2x per day of propranolol which worked great. Fast forward 6 weeks after starting meds and my thyroid function returned to normal. However, my thyroid Trab was 1.4 which normal was anything less than 2. My TSI was 132% and anything less than 140% was normal so I decided to stop the meds. Well, bad mistake. I found out the hard way that you want your antibodies as close to 0 as possible otherwise it will get simulated and you are back to square one. Now fast forward to today 10-28-23 and I am on 5mg MMI daily and no need for the propranolol. My TSH still hasn't returned to normal as of last week, but my free T4 is 1.2, Free T3 is 3.6, and I feel 100% better when it comes to being able to sleep at night and no anxiety or heart palpitations. I'm hoping that one day soon my immune system will regulate itself and my antibodies will return to normal so I can try again to come off the meds. So far no side effect so I am good. Just for information. My liver enzymes were increasing to about 1.5 x the high end of normal so I added in 1800mg of NAC and 500mg of resveratrol daily and all my liver enzymes are on the low end of the reference range. As a matter of fact my ALT was always on the high end at around 40-50, but now it is in the 20s. Even my endocrinologist was impressed by how well the supplements worked. There is a clinical trial at how resveratrol protects your liver while on MMI and it also works to decrease your thyroid function better than MMI alone which is a win win for people with Graves.

A number of people have said that they got hyperthyroidism after vaccination, and or Covid, which would be a stressful life event causing stress than can induce hyperthyroidism.

Are there any good doctors for Graves’ disease in nyc??? Preferably with more modern approaches ??? I don’t want to nuke my thyroid

Thank you for this podcast. Very helpful to those with the same condition like mine.

Thank u so much for this video it helps me a lot

This is the same and only real video about the emotional impact of Graves and it came out in 2013!! There needs to be attention brought to this, Graves patients feel very unvalidated.

I am newly diagnosed. I had anger, panic, irritability and insomnia. My doctor thought I had bipolar. I think my thyroid had been over active for years

I can not tolerate carbimazole so they are trying to put me on PTU I have looked at the side effects and not sure it's worth the risk, any advice?

What about osteoporosis caused or made worse by grave’s disease?

I just had my thyroid completely removed on May 3 of this year and let me tell you I feel so much better I actually cried from happiness today and my Dr who is a great Dr said it’s okay it happens all the time, I’m every lucky to have found my current endocrinologist because he’s literally my third try and what this doctor here is saying is 100%so factual and their are so many doctors who know what RAI could do and how it could make your eye disease so much worse or not tell you RAI can most definitely lead to cancer in the future. I was recommended to have RAI by my first and second endocrinologist I asked them why would you recommend a dangerous procedure that will effect my eyes they didn’t care RAI should be banned in this country like it is in most of the world and if something doesn’t sound right please go home do your research and remember to find a doctor that actually care❤❤❤❤

I will have surgery to remove my thyroid will my eyes get better they are a bit swollen but not too bad yet??

I received radioactive iodine for my Graves’ disease back in 2004 so then went hypothyroidism. But now 2023 my TSH is @ .47, just below the .50 marker. I feel like I should not be this low since I got radioactive iodine. Does anyone have some insight on this.

Excellent webinar! would it be possible to get the sources from the studies referred herein? Thank you!

Thank You explains most everything I currently experience. Spent Christmas in the Hospital with a thyroid storm. Didn't find out what is was till I asked my PCP to do a full blood panel. He said to me your fortunate and I am glad you asked for it because you have a hyperthyroid. I think I've had it for years.

This is very helpful. My TSH is 0.37 which the endocrine team consider “normal”. Looks to me like a normal TSH is something above 2 and below 4! (43:05). Would love to know if anyone in the UK has found a consultant who is sympathetic to this approach!

My husband just got diagnosed with graves last summer at 26 years old. He’s only been on the medicine for about 4 months and they’ve adjusted his dose 3 times now and are already talking about removing his thyroid if his levels don’t stabilize. I just think it’s too soon to be thinking about that? He’s overall doing much better and his TED is mild but labs haven’t improved much. Any thoughts? We are all new to this.

Just recently diagnosed but I've been struggling with mental issues for years now. Nobody suggested thyroid when I started freaking out and going to different counselors and doctors. I think now after tons of research and looking back that I may sometimes have been misattributing beliefs and fears related to my thoughts because the adrenaline/panic physical feelings would happen and I thought one caused the other but now I will be totally relaxed and at peace mentally but have sudden heart rate and adrenaline spikes for no reason so I can stop myself from freaking out mentally because I can separate the physical sensation from any psychological cause - if that makes sense. Having said that though, I am solitary now so I don't have confusion or drama from people and situations anymore and I'm not working so my stress from external causes is reduced from the beginning of my mental and physical problems. It was so bad in 2015 I couldn't function at all, wasn't sleeping, crying or angry all the time, lost weight and lost most of the people in my life related to my state. I had so many blood tests in seven years and was prescribed a few different meds for anxiety and depression but it was never suggested that I might have a thyroid thing until recently I asked about my throat specifically and unrelated. That's an issue I think systemically. It would have made sense to test me for that because it's a physical thing. I'm actually shocked at how many different doctors I saw over this time typing to get help. I just have to forgive it no matter what happens to me now because I can see how complicated all this is. Very thankful for this video.

My wife suffers from this and I'm broken. She is good about taking meds but if her hormones are off or if I don't do exactly what she needs my life can be turn upside down..I haven't been a perfect husband but I have been there for her. I'm there supporting her while going even bankrupt trying to help. I hate going home..I hate off weekends..i hate to take days off when she is at that time. I see why at this point how those who have to deal with this succumb to leaving or worse things..I love her so much but I can't stand her like I use to. I avoid her more now because if we fight because of her irrational behavior I'm not going to find her to work it out because it turns out that it's my fault. I feel so sorry for her....injust don't know what to do. I'm not a guy you can yell at or try to talk down to - I just dish it right back..and I hate that about myself so I try to stay away from her at some points. Today I haven't even spoken to her because of this..im walking around Target at night and I hate coming to stores.

Is it true, that once you get off the medication 💊. Then relapse and go back on the meds. you need to treat it as if you've never had the medication before? Each time you go off and on the medication, you could end up getting a reaction, or need a different dosage ect?

I've been in and out with greaves disease for the last 12 years. It started when I first got pregnant 🤰. And every time I had been pregnant from then on. Whether I gave birth to the baby or not 😔. I had gotten on top of my greaves disease after the birth of my daughter, 5 years ago. Then in November last year, I got my Moderna shot. Not even two weeks later I got thyroid storm that almost killed me. And no dr at the hospital wanted to treat me, because of the attachment to the jab 😥.

My doctor didn't believe me and it took the ER to find it. Even then my doctor barely acted. Extremely disappointing. I believe my Graves was set off by a moderate/severe allergic reaction.

Amazing Dr Benson, May Lord Jesus bless you and may you continue to enable us to be aware of your teachings.

These doctors want to give you a second dose so you will become hypo and have messed up teeth, salivary glands, You won't be able to see or hear well either.

I've got a degenerative neurological condition that finally put me to a wheelchair a few months ago plus a dozen other neurological conditions. All of them extremely painful. I'm 40. I must be the only person who believes that I'll ever get better. All neurologists gave up on me years ago. I'm just in a process of detoxification and changing my type of treatment so this lady connected me to this wonderful herbal doctor who put me on the right track with just his herbal supplement and natural diet Thank you ❤🌞 and all the best 🍀 am forever thankful #drobaedo 🍀🍀
