I appreciate you for being so open , I just found out I have hyperthyroidism 2 weeks ago and I’ve been trying to gather all the information I can . I’ll let you know how my journey goes in 6 months . Wish me luck 💖
Diagnosed yesterday, wishing you well !
How are you doing today?
Hi, how has your journey been?
Thank you for sharing! Would love to know how your doing now!
Thank you for sharing your story. I feel less alone. It’s tough not being able to talk to anyone who understands what you’re dealing with. Stay strong sis. Glad you’re doing well.
You’re not alone 💝
thank you. Its certainly a difficult condition to deal with as its not as obvious to others, but its definitely comforting to know you're not going through this alone.
Thank you so so much for making this. It’s made me feel so much better - I’ve also been diagnosed in the last week and felt so low and so incredibly tired. This has made me feel like I have a chance at coping, thank you x
Thank you for doing this video
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I have been dealing with doctors this entire year and previous years who made me fight for my thyroid diagnoses and testing. It’s always “ you’re anxious” or “your tests are healthy” low and behold my previous test show elevated peroxidase hormones and sonogram shows a swollen thyroid. I am finally being referred to an endocrinologist with a concern for Graves Disease. Finally.
Thank you for sharing, and reminded us that thyroid flare ups may not show in charts but they show in anxiety and all these other symptoms that we experience. Standing by your body and what you feel is so important.
You’re an inspiration, for real. Wishing you the best. 🙏🏻💕
Do your own research in saving your thyroid. Dr. Eric Osansky book and website helped me.
Sending zen peace and balance. thanks for sharing
Hello from one Bon to another. So glad you're not whining on your video. 66 diagnosed May 2021, 2021 was filled with tests and searching even brain surgery. Any who......now the up down with the methimazole. Very interesting dis-ease.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. Just diagnosed
It's been 7 months. How are you doing now? Any improvement? 🙏🏾
Girl I have the same back pain and I have grave also I thought I was the only one try to get some vit b12, that helps me and my back feels so much better and more flexible in general.
Please keep us up to date! We need your input like all the things your doing, thanks God bless. You looking so beautiful, do you get legg cramps? Did you get the covid protection shots?
I have that back pain almost look like scoliosis on the same side and I was recently diagnosed with with primary hyperthyroidism
I have graves with osteoporosis in my spine. My endo is scheduling me for bone density scan. I had to wear a heart monitor for a week, I had tachycardia for 54% of the time, with some ectopic beats.
It has been said celery can activate thyroud
Hey how is it going? I hope you're doing well
What is in your green juice besides celery?
Black seed oil helps with the anxiety. Do you get hives?
I have graves disease and hyperthyroidism please help me because I don't want to have surgery
Hi which protein supplement you choose ? Naked mass?
Agreed even at 66 I don't want removal because its the immune system that's acting up. Stay lifted. The liver regenerates, right,?
I've had hyperthyroidism for 4years and i am scheduled for a surgery in September. I really can't wait 😭
How did your surgery go how are you doing now??
@@faithlovlet its in 3 weeks.
@@bestchristopher How are you today? I’m talking to a surgeon in two weeks.
@@lynej2011 I'm perfectly fine today. Its been 5months since i had thyroidectomy. Everything is okay, my life is much more easier, and I'm happier. I was placed on levothyroxine.
@@bestchristopher No side affects from medication?
Do you still have Graves? Bulging eyes still?
I heard trauma therapy helps _ there is a link of betrayal and thyroid function weird I know but worth looking into. I as well have been hypo and hyper holding on to thyroid as well.
I'm really grateful to Dr Onyeneke on UA-cam who cured me from hyperthyroidism with his natural roots and herbs herbal medicine don't be scared of the unknown give it a try today and you will see the greatness in natural medicine.

Hi I just got diagnosed with graves disease and it's causing me to loss weight can anyone point me in the right direction with gaining weight
Hello I have hyperthyroidism so is it best to cut out dairy products? Because I love dairy.
Dairy I would say is number one. You don't have to cut it out cold turkey but start to find dairy alternatives, figure out what you like and just go from there. I had initially cut it out cold turkey which was rough. after a few months I slowly introduced it back into my diet and then I realized it didn't agree with my body at all. But from there I slowly found alternatives to milk and cheese. There are some things that I consume that have trace dairy products but I try not to beat myself up about it... I just try to do better next time.
Did you tested for Celiac Disease? A lot of people with Thyroid issues have Celiac Disease. I have Celiac Disease. I am getting my Thyroids tested because I have Aunts with Graves disease and hypothyroidism. I'm gluten free. I'm working towards being dairy free (I have a mild dairy allergy). Best of luck. Thanks for the video.
my doctor has actually tested for it, and im clear for that. However i do try to make as many healthy eating choices including having a very low gluten and dairy diet.

I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease two months ago they prescribed me with methimazole and propranolol and I just feel those medications made my eyes worst.
I’m sorry you’re going through this, but the very facts that you are doing your own research getting to this video says you will get through this. It took about 2 years for my eyes to get to a bit of normalcy. And even after that I had fluctuations of them bulging. I have a feeling it’s definitely linked to my stress levels in my worst days. But give the meds some time to work and try and find a ophthalmologist or neuroophthalmologist that can check you about every 6 months to monitor your eyes. They will begin to measure the protruding of your eyes and monitored them to see if it gets worst. They tend to monitor for about 2 years from the onset of the bulging in hope it will correct itself. After that time period they may consider other options depending on severity. There is now a drug on the market that targets this issue but I have a feeling they won’t even consider that until you’re a little more balanced. Wishing you wellness and healing ❤️🩹
Do you take medicine daily? What type of medicine? How did you reduce the swelling in your throat compared from 2 years ago?
Hey, I got diagnosed in July last year and yes, I take Carbimazole daily. I started on quite a high dose and my doctor has reduced that over time as my condition has improved. For some people, treatment with anti-thyroid medication like Carbimazole reduces the swelling - that’s been the case for me. Also, dietary and lifestyle changes can go a long way - that has also been my experience. You can learn more on my channel; I have a couple of videos up there. Stay well 💕
yes, i take Methimazole 2.5 mg daily. As far as I am aware there's nothing you can actively do to reduce the swelling. Mine just reduced in size on its own. However, I'm not quite yet in remission. I do think the slight lifestyle changes have aided in my improvement.
@@ItsBonnieAdams how are you now? I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last may. And just started taking methimazole 20mg a few days ago. I’m trying to be mindful on what i eat. But sometimes it’s hard. My ft3 and ft4 is really really high and my tsh is really really low. Sometimes, this disease is getting in my head. Watching people with the same case like mine feels like i’m less alone now 😞 i hope someday everything will all be good.
Your hair is thick n healthy. Did you have to cut your hair and start new growth?
I did cut quite a lot off because I so much shedding and breakage due to Graves. But I didn’t cut my hair again to start my locs. I’ll have some videos dropping soon tracking ny loc journey. You can check out my big chop video in this video: ua-cam.com/video/2ApjGAoiSQk/v-deo.html
Yes I think back pains are due to the hyperthyroid remember it does affect your muscles get a bone density scan

Hey forgot to tell you try coriander seeds in water boil for 20 mins on low heat cool and drink
Watched a video about it but I’m not sure how or why it’d work 🤔 Have you tried it before?
Yes it's work. Specially green coriander juice 30ml 2times daily for 30days.
What is green coriander ?
@@glennellewoodside7278 probably cilantro
@@glennellewoodside7278 Recao? (Long leaves of culantro?)
Update here I have been told today I do have Graves’ disease 🥺😭I don’t feel like anything has been explained properly by the endocrinologist she only had a 8 min conversation with me today and I had to ask about the tsh antibody test because she ws trying to cut of the phone to me even then and yeah she basically cut me of on the phone I’m so upset it was so rude and rushed. Does anyone know how this affects maternity? I am getting a 48 hour cardio monitor soon as my heart feels like it has weird rhythms and I get flutters and quivering in my chest and stomach. Is it normal to see your heart beat through your stomach I am not really skinny either I am 13 stone 10 and 5ft 8 ?
Yes I remember your comment last year. I’m so sorry you’re still experiencing such symptoms and haven’t had the best support from your dr. In the beginning when I was near a storm and about 3/4 months after starting treatment I had crazy heart palpitations and was prescribed tapazole.
So yes those crazy heart beats is a common symptom of hyperthyroidism but you should be treating it right away. I was in a 48 hour heart monitor also and they wanted me to record by a push button every time I had weird heart flutterss. Then I got the meds. Is that what dr plans to do?
@@Angiedisney14 oh wow. In getting out of this funk it’s so important to have at least one medical professional who’s just willing to listen and it seems like they aren’t on your side. With what I know about healthcare, If I was in your shoes right now my next move would be to utilize your insurance. If you have decent health care insurance you need to speak to them and have then help you find a preferred endocrinologist. Not a nurse practitioner, not an internist, not a general physician. Look for a endocrinologist specialist.
Then from that list do your own research, read reviews, and rank those endos to your liking. Then try and see if they will see you ASAP. I never tell ppl to lie but you essentially need to insist you are in dire need as your symptoms have not changed in over a year, particularly your heart.
And unfortunately in these days a lot of the education you need for your body and condition will come from yourself. Because if all fails and you need to continue care with your current provider, It will help you become more knowledgeable about how to demand what you need. Never be intimated by their doctor authority ( they’re just people too
Another update here- after a long time on carbimazol I went into remission. I am still in remission and I don’t need to take the medicine atm but still getting blood tests. My heart symptoms after lots of tests heart mri, stress test, and heart monitor. I was told I have a structurally normal heart I was having many ventricular ectopics and in rhythms of bigeminy and trigeminy. It was at a 12 percent burden. So I was given medication bisoprolol which worked wonders for me. I cut out caffeine and I don’t drink alcohol. The weird thing was I went into remission as my heart symptoms got worse. I am suspicious of the vaccines for covid for this seeing as covid gave me graves I think it had a lot to do with my heart symptoms getting worse. I have been offered a heart ablation but I have said no and I’m recently as my own personal decision trying to stop my bisoprolol. I can still feel my ectopics but I am able to pin point them better what makes them worse and realised now I can’t have chocolate as that has caffeine and without the medicine I can’t mask it. I get them in hot baths and if I feel too full up. I have put in a lot of weight from these medicines. I take now lots of vitamins d and ashwagander and multivitamins. I was also deficient in vitamins d after I had covid when I was tested. I try and eat organic vegetables as much as possible now. But anyway I am feeling much better my heart is still a hard thing to control and is early days without this medicine. I think although the graves is in remission I still don’t feel like I did before all of this but I am trying to . I also want to say I messaged thyroid uk about my story and they confirmed the vaccine for covid has caused many people with graves to come out of remission. I will personally not be takeing any more covid vaccines again
@@Angiedisney14 I'm sorry you took any to begin with.
I caught covid in December 2020 and now have hyperthyroidism I am being tested for Graves’ disease

That's exactly what's happened to me. Got covid I. September of 2021now got graves' disease and atrial fibrillation. Hopefully can get this stuff fixed. How's your journey with it so far?
@@marcofdelosI’m sorry to hear you have atrial fibrillation that’s horrible I thought I had that but I got diagnosed with frequent ventricular ectopics been offered an ablation but I don’t want it as the medicine worked well for me I have bisoprolol I’m trying now to come off the medicine and it’s been like 4 weeks it was ok at first but can feel them again but noticed I think from eating chocolate. I can’t have caffeine or alcohol. Hot baths make them bad and being too full. They also do still happen randomly and I also get pulsatile tinnitus. I am in remission for my graves and have been for a while now. Are you having an ablation for your atrial fibrillation or medicine. I think the vaccines caused my ventricular ectopics to get really bad. I am not going to take anymore covid vaccines I had two. Hope your ok xx
How long did it take to get your thyroid under control
Short story I’m still not in remission/in control. Long story is, it took at least 8 months to not feel like I was dying. And probably a year and half to learn my symptoms and what they mean (if i needed to be concerned), I also felt like I could do normal activities again like working out and having the energy to go out.
@@ItsBonnieAdams wow, i was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in mid January of this year, the levels are going down but the symptoms are still there, loosing weight, internal tremors, heart palpitations I just don't feel myself, it's so frustrating and depressing. Were you ever on any betta blocker? Did you have internal vibrations
@@merissaclarke7839 oh Yh I was on beta blockers for about 3ish months. Had period where I was on and off because all my symptoms would come and go like a rollercoaster. Then again not too long ago but my doctor and I come to realise it was just really bad anxiety (which I’ve become more sensitive to since dealing with graves). I’ve been taking methimazole consistently in various small amounts for since 2017 and my Endo is closely watching my tsi antibody level (which is a major blood result factor in monitoring your graves and getting into remission) so hopefully this year will be a good year in getting there.
The internal vibrations, if on the same symptoms were what I called jitters. Felt like flutters inside my body especially when my symptoms were on high and with my heart, in the morning soon after waking up, or when I’ve gone too long without eating (which wouldn’t be that long, but you’re metabolism is going so fast it’s digesting everything before you’ve had a chance to think about the next meal 🙃). I would just always try to have water or a thermos of hot herbal tea or hot water at my bedside at night. Mainly to stay hydrated and relaxed when I first wake up or get up in the middle night, which happens a lot. Sometimes even a light snack would help so I already have something going on my stomach before moving too much. I suffered with debilitating acid reflux during my first year so eating or drinking something light before moving was imperative for me. Had many nights I had to sleep upright because of it.
I find yoga helps me. Gluten free, no sugar, no dairy, use lemon balm, frankincense,myrrh, burdock and very essential lavender essentials oils , massage every night before bed .
Forgot zink and selenium, all these help cope
