Thyroid Graves Disease: Anyone else?

I have Graves and fell out of remission for a few months after the Pfizer vaccine. Then I stabilized for a couple years until I got Covid. I had it twice in the past year (and possibly a 3rd time) and now my Graves is really bad and I’m about to start methimazole for the first time. .Covid vaccines and the virus
itself are Graves triggers, yes.

Thanks for that. I’ll keep that in mind.

Have you had other vaccinations that also trigger Graves’? I don’t get the flu shot out of concern of triggering Graves’, and I’m hesitant as I age to get the Shingles vaccination.

I have Hashimotos (Hypothyroidism) and was diagnosed with Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidsim) last year. I bounce back and forth between the two and it has really did a number on my arthritis. I take Methimazole 5 mg daily for Graves Disease. My levels are all good as far as TSH, T3 & T4, now in looking at Graves Disease, but, my Thyroid antibody/antiglobulin is still high and that is where they found I had Hashimotos. I believe COVID ramped things up for me with thyroid. COVID does a lot of things to your body. I pray you feel better soon. Bless you & I care.
