I have managed graves disease and thyroid eye disease since i was 19 (now 25) and ended up on 10 tablets per day of carbimazole to sustain my thyroid levels. This became ridiculous, so i planned to have the "radioactive iodine" drink to kill my thyroid. This was a success and levels seemed to be excellent for some time. UNTIL...I woke up suddenly with 4 ambulance staff who told me i had suffered from a seizure. It was then noted my thyrodi levels were very LOW so i had thyroxine replacement medication to manage. I was sent home, then had another one a month later, then they put me on anti-seizure medication. I have asked the neurologists, doctors, nurses if there is ANY correlation between the seizures and low thyroid reading and apparantly there is not.. I find this somewhat bizzare as it wasnt until i had had the seizure, my thyroid was low functioning?
ANy assistance and thoughts are greatly appreciated
