Graves' disease journey begins
2018 was the year that my health took a turn for the worst. I found myself being hit with multiple symptoms at one time. Within 6 months I experienced rapid weight loss, tachycardia, depression, increased anxiety, growth of a goiter, skin rashes, thinning hair, frequent bowel movements, muscle weakness, feeling fatigued, an increased appetite, low grade fever, just to name a few.
My Diagnosis of Graves Disease came after visiting my then Primary Physician and being sent to the emergency room during that visit.
I was referred to an Endocrinologist who visited with me one time and suggested that I have my thyroid surgically removed, start radioactive iodine treatment, and take 10 prescription pills everyday for the rest of my life.
I personally did not feel ok with this advice and this is where my new holistic health Journey began.
I knew there had to be another way!
