Graves' disease (German: Morbus Basedow), also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.[1] It frequently results in and is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.[5] It also often results in an enlarged thyroid.[1] Signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include irritability, muscle weakness, sleeping problems, a fast heartbeat, poor tolerance of heat, diarrhea and unintentional weight loss.[1] Other symptoms may include thickening of the skin on the shins, known as pretibial myxedema, and eye bulging, a condition caused by Graves' ophthalmopathy.[1] About 25 to 30% of people with the condition develop eye problems.[1][4]
The exact cause of the disease is unclear; however, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.[3] A person is more likely to be affected if they have a family member with the disease.[1] If one twin is affected, a 30% chance exists that the other twin will also have the disease.[6] The onset of disease may be triggered by physical or emotional stress, infection or giving birth.[4] Those with other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to be affected.[1] Smoking increases the risk of disease and may worsen eye problems.[1] The disorder results from an antibody, called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI), that has a similar effect to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).[1] These TSI antibodies cause the thyroid gland to produce excess thyroid hormones.[1] The diagnosis may be suspected based on symptoms and confirmed with blood tests and radioiodine uptake.[1][4] Typically, blood tests show a raised T3 and T4, low TSH, increased radioiodine uptake in all areas of the thyroid and TSI antibodies.[4]
The three treatment options are radioiodine therapy, medications, and thyroid surgery.[1] Radioiodine therapy involves taking iodine-131 by mouth, which is then concentrated in the thyroid and destroys it over weeks to months.[1] The resulting hypothyroidism is treated with synthetic thyroid hormones.[1] Medications such as beta blockers may control some of the symptoms, and antithyroid medications such as methimazole may temporarily help people while other treatments are having effect.[1] Surgery to remove the thyroid is another option.[1] Eye problems may require additional treatments.[1]
Graves' disease will develop in about 0.5% of males and 3% of females.[5] It occurs about 7.5 times more often in women than in men.[1] Often, it starts between the ages of 40 and 60 but can begin at any age.[6] It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States (about 50 to 80% of cases).[1][4] The condition is named after Irish surgeon Robert Graves, who described it in 1835.[6] A number of prior descriptions also exist.[6]
Here because of Kartel 🌎 boss
Glad to help with your health needs! ❤️
Me too 😭
@@MrREDUNiTS 🤣 right
Fr eh
I cant eem lie…..ME TOO. GET WELL, ADDI.
So. Who's here because of Vybz Kartel?
Brooooo , I came here cuz of him damnnn
It seems like you're referencing the connection between Vybz Kartel, the Jamaican dancehall artist, and discussions about Graves' disease, possibly due to his public health issues. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid, leading to symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, and bulging eyes. While it’s an interesting link to make, it’s essential to focus on the medical aspects of the condition for proper understanding and management.
I have Graves Disease but with weight gain which is rare. I dont smoke and rarely drink alcohol. The Doctor has me on 20mg of Carbimazole daily. Horrid disease. Praying my body heals. 🙏
I hope you get better soon.
@@MedicalCentric Bless you! 🙏
It’s most likely from grains and wheat. Cut them out immediately.
@@JH-nb4nn The thing is though I don't eat wheat or grains. I think maybe stress might have brought it on. 🤔
Me too, I gained so much weight.
I was just watching twins of twins, talking about this disease and why Vybz Kartel looking soo different and his vice sound different so I went to come and check about it and I stumble on this video
same. lol
I was misdiagnosed with Graves disease and was at the point of thyroid removal and a lifetime of maintenance medication. Found an article by 2 MDs at the Texas Heart Institute entitled Misdiagnosis of Graves Disease Due to Aspartame Poisoning. I started reading labels and removed aspartame from my diet (it's in everything "diet") and symptoms completely disappeared within 60 days.
Woah . Thanks for sharing this. I drink a lot of Diet Coke so better check this .
Wow thankyou I will be aware of aspartame
Mine was simply switching from Iqos to Iluma which caused it. It would be tragic to remove your thyroid gland, doctors always treat the effect, never the cause. And remember, it’s very rare that your thyroid is causing problems directly, it’s almost certain an indirect cause that you need to find.
Can you explain further? Was aspartame elevating antibodies characteristic of Graves’ disease? Please let me know
Vybz kartel mek mi deh ya
same. lol
Who's here because of Vybz Kartel? 🤔
Had Graves for about 15 years. Still take methimazole and atenolol daily. Had radioactive iodine treatmeant and it still came back. The worst part is the heat intolerance and feeling sweaty all the time.
Sorry about the experience
Thats the worst for me
Am currently going through this I didn’t know that sweating so much, it horrible it’s like I ran 3 miles long.
@@melove22265 Just being in class or at a restaurant or something and just always sweaty. worst part for me.
Omg I have graves, and I'm scheduled to have my thyroid removed tomorrow. However I just changed my mind since I read how miserable everyone is after that surgery and how they have gained up to 70lbs.
I got graves from being stressed too much. As long as i'm not stressed my body feels normal. Still suffer from protruding eyes.
Bugleweed syrup took my eyes from being protruded and diseased to fully healed. Black seed oil too is a miracle worker. Wishing you full healing! 🙏
@Minnie Minx how do I take it? Is it on Amazon?
@@angelinaharding1459can u please help how u did it
@@angelinaharding1459where to buy bugleweed syrup?..
Change your diet. Exercise. Get at least 20 mins of direct sunlight a day.
The major factor is to change your diet.
Keto diet with intermittent fasting.
as a person who is by textbook standard, healthy and skinny, it's really not that simple.
I have hyperthyroidism but I haven't been diagnosed with graves yet. For years doing a fasting routine of twice a week. And always low carb, but recently carnivore. The hyperthyroidism isn't getting any better, but it's not getting any worse either. I've refused to take the meds so far. My symptoms are very slight.
@@whereami2130 No it is. You just need to change your diet to fit your body type and to improve your gut biome.
It is HYPER important to, not only your physical well being, but to your mental well being.
I had cancer and cured my particular affliction, with much study and constant research.
GUT BIOME - study it.
A GREAT place to start is by taking N Acetyl Cysteine. -
Also look into Taurine - these are majorly important amino acids for good health.
Best of luck to you.
When I had first gotten the symptoms of Graves', i binged a lot, and overate so much that i was scared to gain too much weight rapidly (even though my weight never increased). So i cut sugars abruptly and started intermittent fasting. The result: I dropped weight even faster. I got from 54 to nearly 40kg being 1,58m tall. I lost my period for this whole time. It was the worst since i thought it was an ED and resulted to be Graves'. I wouldn't do intermittent fasting when it comes back and just eat normally, trying not to get overexcited if i overeat again. My body needs this since it burns everything away and converts it energy which is not usable for the body.
@@whereami2130 Yes - it is. - Do your diligence and FIGURE OUT the diet that works best for your body.
I will TELL YOU, excuses? change NOTHING.
Get busy living - or you'll get busy dying.
World boss😢
Get well soon world boss
Hello doctor.. I suffer from essential tremor, not Parkinson's disease. When I hold a glass of water, my hand trembles and causes me embarrassment. I tried Anderal 40 mg and my condition improved, but Anderal negatively affected my lung health because I suffer from asthma. Is there an alternative treatment for Anderal?
Risk factors include the Covid shot. NIH published a paper showing direct connection in nurses early in the testing. Unfortunately no one still to this days says anything about this study.
I read this as well, I wish I never got it!
And what about our blood supply? They do not separate the shotted from the non. You get what you get in an emergency transfusion. It’s a crime. Call you elected officials and demand that they separate the blood supply. Fight hard for this.
I never had ‘it’ but just been diagnosed with Graces so not sure if linked, although I do share your concerns.. contact could have been a risk factor. Who knows.
You guys blame absolutely everything on the shot. You guys are clearly traumatized due to the pandemic lol.
@@pa5666 - legit studies show the connection. Believe what you want. .

My Uncle Had This Disease
Sorry about that. I hope he is getting treatment.
Trypanosoma Cruzi 💯
Stress and diet!!! Eliminate wheat, gluten and sugar.
and caffeine
i understand sugar, but why wheat and gluten? Should i be omitting fish also or does the iodine in nutrients not make a huge difference?
@@b.sternberg6868 I spoke to my endocrinologist and she said the main sources of iodine to avoid are fish and milk.
Wheat and gluten are in relation to coeliac disease or the milder version of gluten intolerance that they reckon a lot of people suffer from.
I don’t like your use of the word “infected” in relation to inheriting it from a family member.
Nobody cares
@@TheGreatWhiteHope-pb3qrbe nice - people are usually here because they want to know more about a condition they have probably just been told they have. Last thing they need is stupid comments like yours. If you can't contribute in a positive manner then stop typing.
My husband had graves disease about 10 years ago and was cured! Lately he gets tired a lot, sleepy no energy and is losing weight! He also clears his throat for mucus he gets! The doctors have given him several tests, MRI, Catscan and can’t find the problem! They say no allergies either! Has anyone gone through this before after Graves’ disease?
