GRAVES DISEASE UPDATE 2010.wmv

This video is exactly what it says...Its a video update of my Graves Disease and my progress from the time I was diagnoised with it until now September 2010 and if you pay close attention to my eyes you can see the progress and change over the years. I have had no surgeries (as of yet) and at this point I have no intentions of having any. Just taking med's and using eye drops and lacralube with necessary...

Thxs for posting all your helpful vids. I got diagnosed last August. I was about to exercise and went into Afib and was admitted to the hospital where they discovered this. Now take metoprolol for heart pulpations and methimazole for graves. Not under control and I am not convinced that radioactive treatment is the way to go. I am trying to find a holistic endo doctor, to see if I can treat the underlying problems with diet an supplements before going with the Radioactive treatment. I started

@shellybellysf : Well sweetheart speaking from one who has had the radio active iodine treatment (granted everyone is different) it didn't work for me yes the pill did "SHRINK" my thyroid but all it did later on was grow back and that is when my graves disease started for before I took that pill my eyes were "normal" to me anyway...now a days my doctor says that the iodine pill is not the way to go but u can't take my word sweetheart I suggest that a second opinion is the "BEST" thing to do..

@shellybellysf u are very welcome on the the comments u made and I am in the process of buying me another camera so that I can make some more video's a lot has happened since these video's. I have not had any kind of surgery, my eyes are still bulging but I have chose to remain as I am. I feel that I was given this illness for a reason so them cutting in my face is not an option. The plus side is I have lost a lot of weight.. I'll make some video's really soon Thanks again Good Luck

At first when you started, I was apprehensive about what I was going to see! The thumbnail pic really made me hope it wasn't worse. So I'm soo happy for you that you were able to find a way to deal with the progress. I rejoice with you! Yay!! God's so awesome in all He does for (undeserving) us! This made my day, I have to wakeup (and stay up) at 6am so my son can get dress for school and not be all by himself; and this was the first vid I watched! LOL! Thanks for sharing! Hugz! :D

@muffinismylovers Thanks April I was truly surpirsed to see your comment, didn't even think you watched my video's but I am honored that you did respon to it...and Im glad to know that your mother's condition is going well...They wanted to do Orbital Decompression surgery on me but I don't feel that it is necessary for me at this time so Im just holding God's unchanging hand and praying that he will work it out for me...

Thanks for the kind words Diva!!
