Hi again!
Hello from Winston Salem!
Is it possible to have Graves and Hashimoto’s simultaneously?
Yes
I’m still trying to figure out what I have exactly..
I had mine ablated worse thing I ever did, I have felt horrible ever since
I understand I had it don’t 2003 I wish I had try some thing else I was scared and done what the doctors said it a lot to deal with
Dora Landers that is how I felt, scared, and when my endo said to do it I did. I have not felt good since then, I had it done 3 years ago, and I wish I had been better educated on other options.
Sorry had what ablated?
Amy Lepley Auker what do you feel?
Lol I hate bees too ha ha
I have Graves and several other auto immune diseases
Me too Amy.
Happy Father’s day…
hot dogs? u eat hot dogs?
Yes happy father’s day!!
That scares me the graves issue.. I have been hypothyroid for many years. Is it possible to have gone back and forth between graves and hypo?
Is that like a fodmaps diet
What happens when your tsh level is up and down every few weeks ?
I need more info on this diet for graves
How about gluten free
What tests are needed to figure out if you have hashi’s or graves?
Thyroid antibodies :
Thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase for hashis
Graves – TSI – Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin antibodies.
What did they say about Hashimoto I’ve been told I Have that
Can a prolaktinom give the same symtoms as a thyroid problem ?
what name brand of natural hot dogs do u eat? so i can know which ones to buy. and hot dog buns, what do u eat for hot dog buns?
I had rai. I eat aip gluten free still got really high antibody count.
Try LDN
Low dose Naltrexose
I’m in uk. Can’t get it here. Thanks.
I have graves and chicken seems not to be my friend would you happen to know y?
I have hashimotos and graves as well as addisons, I am a hot mess
Amy Lepley Auker So am I 🙁
Still bloated, how long does it take to feel difference
I have a 2.4 TSH level…gaining weight and not able to lose it…the right side of Thyroid is 6.3 cm large…the left is 3 cm large…they want to do a ultrasound needle biopsy….what else can I do
Probiotics brought my antibody count down
To 50 from 500
Enjoy yourself and thank you as always
I am caffeine free glutin free and protein free but have ibs,what tests do I need for thyroid
Can you have Graves and Hashimoto’s simultaneously? I have TPO and TSI antibodies.
11.67 level TSH hair falling out & weight. Gain ( redid blood work this week . What could help ?
do nodules on the thyroid lobes cause high antibodies? being that the noduals are foreign
I am so excited for my appointment with you in July.
Does anyone’s legs, joints, & feet hurt to where it’s hard to walk ? & swell?
Yes, I no longer have my thyroid due to Graves and do swell quite a lot. (Gained so much weight after my thyroid was killed and cannot keep it off. Worst decision I made, of course with a traditional Endocrinologist, was to go through with the ablation.) Anyway, I take a diuretic. It helps with water weight. Am on natural desiccated thyroid, Armour, and it keeps my levels at or below 1 tsh. (Was on synthroid for many years and I felt my body did not convert T4 to T3 on synthetic medicine.) In regards to joint aches n pains…I take a prenatal multivitamin bc I’m anemic. All I’ve done for myself has been though research. I have a fine internist that prescribes Armour, but I’ve not yet seen a holistic Dr, like Dr. Shook. Prolly bc there are so few! I’m in Lexington, KY.
I hope you have a great Father’s Day doctor thank you for all you do for us
We all need to take time to laugh
I have developed insulin resistance, elevated testosterone and elevated DHEAS. I heard u mention testosterone and insulin elevations (pre-diabetic). I always thought this was all connected as that happened at the same time as Graves diagnosis. Also vitamin D and B12 were very low. Endo said not related lol. I said it’s all the endocrine system!
Your correct maybe old strain wheat only I farmed wheat & corn for 27 yrs the system needs to change Hi Dad
I’m going to see a Endocrinologist for the first time can you suggest what you think is the best drug to take I’ve heard people say a few different ones
With keto diet, how long do you want to stay in ketosis
Thank you, Dr. Shook, for always going out of your way to help others. Wishing you a wonderful Father’s Day.
My doctor has me on 12 supplements vs medicine to treat My hashimoto and AIP paleo diet but said it could take a while to go into remission – should I see conventional doctor or it’s ok to try this natural way.
Thank you! Have a fun time with you family!
Had to take the Radio active iodine pill many years ago and the Synthroid is the only thing that seems to help….. is there any other thing that I can ?
To bad I was not closer to where you are, sounds like you would find out the main cause of the hypo thyroid
You are the best!
Robyn Morris even though he’s talking about Graves’ disease there is a lot of good info in this one.
Exercise and Graves? How much is to much for the heart issues? And good carbs and bad carbs? Or no carbs at all?
Dr Brad do you have any answers as to why 11 weeks after a TT my FT3 & FT4 levels are still hyper, meds were stopped 3 weeks ago but still going higher.
Hey from Mississippi
The most naive and dangerous thing a person with Graves can do is get an RAI.
What is RAI?
Grave’s diseaseanemic and high cortisol. On meds but what else to do? have no energi for excercise but can go for slow, short walks.
