Hi Stella5349,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I have started taking supplements recently and have been gluten free for 6 months. I am considering RAI or surgery because my symptoms are overbearing. I have not worked consistently since March 2011 because my exhaustion and anxiety are so abnormal (up and down) that it is hard for me to function. I recently started having eye pain in my left eye, which I think is due to Grave's disease. This has been a nightmare and words can't explain the torture that I have been going through. My friends and family are supportive, but I don't think they understand how sick I truly am.
I will take my supplements regularly and continue my diet as you suggested. Thank you!
Have you considered RAI or surgery? Are your symptoms as extreme as mine where they hinder your daily functions?
A proper diet must be a lifestyle change incorporating high proteins, low to zero sugar comsumption - even eliminating fruits, a sodium rich diet. Zero gluten, high fiber, no artificial processed foods.
A supplement package started of proper amounts of selenium, magnesium, High Vit C, High/HIGH dosages of Vit D-3 as in somewhere of 10,000 - 20,000 ius daily.
Change in stress levels to a min.
Medication if warranted and at times a replace and block method can work if direct T3 medications are used in conjunction with T4 at low doses.
There's more. This is a starting point.
