  • Here thinking I wasn't going to cry... :) Never seen a video express how I feel. <3

    Thank you. GD is more devastating and overwhelming than is apparent on the surface. This makes it difficult for friends or family to even marginally grasp the physical and emotional devastation of this disease. I hang on to the occasional small window of "normality" I have sometimes when my levels are good. It reminds me I still exist somewhere inside this nightmare.

  • @Starvee44 Do you ever feel like destroying things? I know that's a weird questions, but like if I don't take my medication as soon as I wake up, I feel like I'm going insane, much more then before I was diagnosed with hyper thyroidism. The way I feel, it's like extreme anxiety, panic, and rage. I feel like screaming and just breaking things and hurting people. As soon as I take my PTU, within minutes, the feeling is gone... I hate this...

    First I would like to thank you for these videos, and text. I really can relate to you. GD gives those feelings that you just don't talk about normally...Gravers should talk about them, its the silence that slowed down research. by the way, I had lost all hope untill one day I got a "good" feeling just like that, everything was gonna be OK, complete satisfaction. That one day...made me have hope again...

  • And i thougt I were jus crazy. Had Radioiodinr therapy recently and am much more calm. Had no idea!

  • This is wonderful. I have had grave's for about 4 yrs. Thanks for the video it's great!

  • Thank you so much for great text on GD in addition to video. Copying your text to give to my Dr., Endo & Shrink. Did you do RIA? I'm way to afraid of radiation & can't find qualified surgeon to remove in my area. Plus, afraid I'll feel worse w/more mental issues in addition to the physical. puddle of sweat :( Endo keeps telling me "numbers are normal/good/ok" & many, many symptoms continue. Need an endo to treat symptoms & ignore numbers? I guess. Thanks again

  • A truly wonderful video that brought me to tears! Awesome symbolism for such a crippling disease in so many ways. I have watched it many times over and each time I remember and feel something different about Graves disease thanks so much Em

  • i lov these videos theres hope. T2S

    thank you so much for this video....It was very enlightening. I go to the endo tomorrow....thanks again! Hike

    Wow! Thanks for sharing. It gave me chills and some tears. How very true to our lives it is. I forwarded the link to my family so maybe they can understand more of what goes on with our minds and bodies. Hugs, Pat
