I found your comment interesting because I was just diagnosed with Graves’ Disease in November. It was a sudden onset seemingly triggered by my second Pfizer Covid booster shot. I was put on Methimazole 10mg (once a day) and took it for a couple of months, and I swung over to slight hypothyroidism, and my dosage was lowered to 5mg (once a day). I’ve only been on 5mg for a few weeks now, but I’m beginning to wonder if I’m back to hyperthyroidism because of how I feel. I go back to the doctor in a few more weeks and should know more then.

My question for you is how long have you had your swinging condition? And were you told it’s okay to continue in this fashion without taking more drastic measures such as radioactive iodine or surgery?

I have Graves and since diagnosis have arthritis and need both knees replaced. I didn’t know Graves could be the culprit behind my arthritis. Graves also messed with my heart and I am on numerous medications. My hormone levels are considered euthyroid, but I still have severe heat intolerance and fatigue. I don’t have Hashimotos as far as I know, but I am trending toward hypo now. I hope your health improves soon. I think it’s difficult when endocrinologists don’t seem as educated in dealing with Graves as they should be.
