@Novagreyhound My doctor said that I'm slightly hyperthyroidism, but she said that I'm perfectly fine and that that is not the reason for my chronic fatigue or hypertension. My symptoms are fatigue, accelerated heart rate(all my life), anxiety(all my life), low libido, hypertension, and intolerance to the cold(all my life). I don't think that I have an intolerance to heat, as I LOVE to take long HOT showers.
Western medicine = cut it out, blast it with radiation, or blast it with drugs. And we think we're advanced and modern. Here's an idea, try something that doesn't harm you first! There are healing traditions that have been around a lot longer that ours that don't require, or even considering destroying parts of your body. Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine are a couple. Only the ignorant dismiss these. We've got much to learn in the west.
Something not often talked about are the atypical (unusual) symptoms of hyperthroidism - sensitivity to cold, weight gain...I had these symptoms and more along with normal range blood tests which threw drs off for years - no diagnosis to misdiagnosis until I finally presented thyrotoxic with damage to my heart from my heart racing so fast all the time. If something feels wrong with you you are not crazy - they just haven't figured out what box to put you in - advocate, educate, demand help.
Manage your stress and get rid of all the things that put pressure on you and the disease will eventually go away, of course you need to take the pills to block hormone production.
@Novagreyhound Are you sure that hyperthyroidism can be associated with unusual symptoms such as sensitivity to cold?

I feel like I'm more hyper than hypo.

Weight gain? I didn't know that, because my sister lost a ton of weight and I didn't know it could do the opposite, as well. Thank you for sharing.

Always take the pill route.
Grave's disease is mostly stress related.
Manage your stress and get rid of all the things that put pressure on you and the disease will eventually go away, of course you need to take the pills to block hormone production.
