I'm so sorry for the difficulty you are experiencing. I have had Grave's disease for about 20 years. About a year ago I switched from hyperthyroid to hypothyroid as my thyroid has "burned out". Apparently this can happen after years of making too much thyroid. The only way that I discovered the change was because I had a sudden onset of high blood pressure. My BP is normally on the low side, so this was really unusual. After describing other symptoms, like dry skin, dry eyes and dry mouth, my doctor ordered some thyroid tests. I was low on thyroid and my TSH was through the roof so my doctor started me on a low dose of thyroxodine. Amazingly, my BP immediately went back to my normal normal lower BP.

I was curious if you have been put on any kind of thyroid replacement and if you have, has it made any difference? Hoping things improve for you. When the thyroid is out of whack, it seems like everything is out of whack. Good luck. Donna

What did the Thyroxodine do for you?
