The thing that freaks me out is I keep thinking I might have leukemia or something. I don’t have symptoms of it and I’m a super bad hypochondriac so I’ve had tons of blood labs run. I’ve always prided myself on my physique and now I won’t even look in the mirror. Drs aren’t concerned because the condition isn’t dangerous. It is unsightly and uncomfortable. I’m just glad it stops at my neck. This whole situation sucks.

@jpearo Based on the research articles dating back to the late 70s, yes there have been cases where someone has GD and other diseases such as renal failure and cancer. Per the research articles I have read, they have not established a causal link in the cases. GD is often misdiagnosed with other skin conditions. The best thing to do is be dilegent on follow up treatment/care, the doctors should be ruling out all other health issues. With medical professionals, I would recommend sharing all of your concerns/symptoms etc. something seemingly minor could be important for them to get the correct diagnosis. I’m a nurse and have worked both in acute care as well as home care, and getting the correct diagnosis and treatment requires knowing all the pieces of the puzzle. 🙂
