Thyroid Graves Disease: Anyone else?

It is my wife who has Graves’ disease. She quit smoking but took up vaping. She has other autoimmune issues that have not all been figured out. It’s possible she has lupus, but she is told that there is no actual test to confirm this illness. Everything really went bad about 9 years ago. Since then, she has had her thyroid removed completely, eye surgery to straighten out one of her eyes that got worse and muscles in her eye needed to be cut and she has been on steroids/all kinds of pills. Would someone know if the Mayo clinic could help her with all of her autoimmune issues? Most days she can barely move and she is in constant pain.

CongratS to your wife for being able to quit smoking. Vaping may be less harmful that cigarettes, but not safe or without health risks. I send her encouragement to reduce the vaping and maybe quit that too.

You can request an appointment at Mayo Clinic. You can either self refer or ask her physician to submit a referral. Here’s more information: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
