I was diagnosed 11 years ago . Still have my thyroid gland and i dont take any medications. Stay positive

This was very interesting to me. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 6 years ago when I turned 40. I finally went to the dr because I had uncontrollable itching!! It felt internal and I felt like I was going crazy!! Luckily my dr knew immediately what was likely going on. My thyroid was swollen. I had rapid heartbeat and tremors. And I had lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I was on medication for about a year. They wanted me to have radiation or surgery and I just couldn’t do it. Weaned myself off the medication because I could tell I was getting better. Fast forward to yesterday. Had my levels checked for the first time in 4 years. Totally normal. Go figure!!!

I start methimazole today! I want to get better. I have a visible goiter! My biopsy came back benign but I will have my first scan in 4 month, cause dr wants to see what will happen when medication is taken. You give me hope!

I have hyperthyroidism too. 18 months taking carbimazole and stopped the meds for 1 year I thought I'm also on remission but after 1 year of not taking meds it came back so I'm now on meds again. 😢 Everyday I'm wishing and praying to get my life back, the best version of myself, the better me version. That's the only thing that I wanted now, nothing else in this world.

I was really sick as well. I had done research and knew it was my thyroid. I kept going in, they did just the TSH test. Kept telling me I was fine because I was in the “normal” range. I was done. I was too tired to keep fighting. My son was with me and he blurted out, do an ultrasound. They did. 26 nodules. The next day I found out I had thyroid cancer. You have to be your own champion in getting better. So you work with the doctor and not just follow the doctor.

Ihave hprothyroidism it let me feelngnot eating gizzing and black outfeeling sickand i am medication the name of medication is carbimzole

*Diet and lifestyle can do so much good!* My aunt struggled with hyperthyroidism and the hair loss that came with it. They put her on a synthetic hormone which helped but she wasn’t interested in being on any pill for the _rest of her life._ So she ditched it, did a lot of research and opted to start with an elimination diet: no gluten, dairy, processed sugar, caffeine/coffee and alcohol. She focused on cleaning up the gut and gentle movement of the body (walking, swimming,etc nothing HIIT related as it raises stress hormones/cortisol) and advocates getting bare feet in contact with the ground (a practice called “grounding”) and it’s made a night and day difference for her.

I am sooooo proud of you. For you to recognize that food is such an important key in being heathy. I am 63 had RA for decades and healed by changing my diet. I eat a whole food plant based diet , no sugar no oils, and I feel great no meds. You can now pass what you have learned onto your children so they can grow up healthy.

Hey I was diagnosed with graves/hyperthyroidism four years ago but methimazole made me so nauseous. Instead, I went gluten free,dairy free, and caffeine free along with KETO to treat my disease. I went into remission within three months and have stayed in remission for four years. For the hair loss I started taking Hair La Vie. It has made my hair really thick again like when I was young and my natural curl is back more than ever. I just thought I would share that with everyone. Plus, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis because of the graves. I have been taking AlgaeCal bone building package and have gone from osteoporosis to mixed osteoporosis and osteopenia, to just osteopenia. I am building my bone density without one of those “bone building medications” that do NOT actually build bones and cause horrific side effects. It can be done naturally. By the way, I asked my doctor to test me for thyroid issues for nine years before she finally agreed to test me. And I was in the Air Force for 22 years and those doctors never even suspected that the racing heart, the palpitations, the tremors, and the crazy high anxiety level were indicative of a problem.

Congratulations!!! That is great to hear! I have Graves Disease as well and I was in remission for 6 months and now I’m back to taking my meds. Took me a couple of years to be diagnosed as well. I knew something was wrong….we know our bodies!

I love your videos Steph. You helped me so much when I first found out I had breast cancer and I’m still watching you today. It’s been several weeks since I had chemo and I still don’t have any hair. I’ve bought about 5 wigs although when I’m at home I don’t wear them either and since I’m retired I very seldom have any place to wear them but I do love them. All because I saw how real they looked on you.

Thank you for this video. I'm glad to know your move has been good & that you are feeling healthy and well! You have helped me SO MUCH with the content you place on this channel, & I am sincerely grateful. After years of buying into detrimental ways to achieve "socially acceptable" hair- it became clear I would have to find alternative ways to care for my own. As it turns out, my husband was not keen on less frequent washing & no heat treatments. SO- about 8 months ago I began to try wearing wigs. Your channel is my favorite. You are very inspiring! I now see wigs as a way to protect our own hair & to step into public places with the kind of cinematically perfect hair that people enjoy seeing. Your journey proves that the human body can regain health naturally, something I have always believed. I no longer accept allopathic ideas & only work with a naturopath. Thank you so much for creating this space and for helping so many!

Thank you. So helpful. ❤

You are so right… first, we have to be our own health advocates, because nobody knows our bodies better than we do ourselves, not even the doctors. Not that they don’t academically know more than we do, but finding a doctor who truly listens is literally vitally significant. And I completely agree that THE number one factor to any “dis-ease” in our bodies is due to stress. Of course what we eat and our physical activity are also important elements as is spiritual and emotional well being. I’m a senior woman now and still learning and evolving. I could be my own medical journal of things that have gone wrong with my body and mind due to my own neglect, BUT I refuse to give up, and am in a place of harmony now as I shed excess weight (75 pounds so far!) and find new ways to keep moving. That you are so young and at this level of understanding is so commendable. I’m so looking forward to watching you and learning from you as your life moves forward into new adventures, especially with you and Dan soon to welcome the little one. ❤️💕

Hello Steph! First of all, congratulations for being in remission, and also for having a baby. I am also suffering from hyperthyroidism since last year, I lose a lot of weight, had hair loss, my anxiety and depression was severe, same goes with fatigue. I had a surgery last year but only half was removed because my surgeon thought it was “toxic adenoma” since I had nodules as well on the left side. I also aim to be in remission, hope 2024 will be a good year for me. Thanks for sharing your story.

Hi Valerie! Welcome to my little wig family ❤ I'm so happy to have you here. I feel everything you've just spoken to me.... oh my goodness, hair loss can be so challenging. It can be difficult to see past it sometimes. Wigs have honestly changed my life FOR THE BETTER, in SO many ways. Like, to the point where the average person doesn't know hair loss is something I struggle with, because wigs look SO real these days that nobody gives it a second thought, and it truly has given me my confidence back. I wish this exact feeling for you!!!! I can't wait to hear more from you =) XO

I have psoriasis and probably other autoimmune things going on, but the psoriasis is causing my hair to fall out. So, I am exploring the idea of wigs and am happy to find your channel. Thank you for making it!

16:21 You are definitely reaching people. I feel grateful to people like you, who share their experience especially around not being listened to by doctors. In the interest of limiting stress, I won’t go into my journey with that because it’s not over BUT I feel strength to go on by knowing I’m not alone even if I have no idea what I have or if I’ll ever be properly diagnosed. What you said about stress and that it’s not realistic (paraphrasing) to cut it out but we can maybe absorb it differently? That’s something I’ve GOT to try to do . After over a year of feeling like I’m the only person who knows something’s wrong and the only person with no say in actions taken or not taken, I’ve reacted with so much anger inside and plenty that i’ve let out too so I’ve really isolated myself. Finally it’s gotten so bad dermatologically that they can’t say it’s “fine” anymore that people are just starting to listen to me and forced to take action but it’s after so long of being alone with it. It’s so hard for me to be okay with anyone in my orbit suggesting things with no information or assuming that the person dealing with the symptoms would have probably considered and tried ____(fill in the blank). I can’t imagine being so secure with my suggestion after hearing some symptoms and pondering it for 5 minutes as to tell someone decisively ANYTHING. So I have cut a lot of people out of my life who i guess never took me seriously to begin with. Whelp. See how angry I get? Annnnyway, LOL. So yeah I’m a real fun person to be around as you might see, I’m basically feral at this point and that’s why I appreciate your honesty about your journey and your emotions etc. This is a long and hopefully not too depressing thank you 😅

I started wearing wigs to take the pressure off which I think will help my hair grow more and even if it doesn't I certainly feel better. I think that you are so right trying to improve things naturally instead of just going for cutting out your thyroid. You are so young and look if.

All the symptoms are gone once I lost the weight. I am 38 now and never had any problem with thyroid and blood work check is always normal since age 20.

Please explain more about the diet

I was diagnosed in 2006, I had the racing heart, bulging eyes, etc. I went on meds and I was one of the few who was allergic to the meds and broke out head to toe with hives and heat rash. I ended up having the radio active iodine and it took 6 years to get my thyroid meds right. I was so depressed with hair loss and bulging eyes. Now I’m buying wigs, and still getting used to it You’re amazing and so beautiful.

Thank you for your inspiring story. When you felt that you were out of remission, how did you fix that?

Thank you for sharing this. There have been many times doctors recommended things to me- surgery, medications that I refused. I’m ok and I didn’t need it. People forget they are a bu$ine$$. …. And one that has a high cost in running, so they don’t really care to help you save your health. This isn’t a personal diss to practitioners but more of a modern business model of our current healthcare system. Diet is a HUGE factor in health. Exercise is necessary for one’s body to work correctly since so much of bodily functions are greatly affected by lack of movement, primarily digestive, lymphatic and cardiovascular. And I should clear up that when I say ‘exercise’ I don’t mean CrossFit or some gym rat type life- I mean just getting active. Stress minimization is absolutely key too. These 3 things don’t always clear up a medical issue, but if you can do better in these 3 things, it will certainly help. I’m happy to hear you are doing well.

It’s so wild that they didn’t want to test your thyroid levels, when that’s part of a normal routine blood test (I have hypothyroidism and didn’t have to specifically ask for them to test for it initially; it was just part of a yearly physical exam).

Thanks for sharing your story. I have T1 diabetes, PCOS and hypothyroidism, so a real endocrine trifecta. My hair hasn’t been thick since I was a teenager probably, and trying to work with it is beyond frustrating. I also have Trichotillomania (hair pulling) that comes on in times of anxiety, and having short hair keeps that at bay. Wigs have been a godsend for so many reasons!

She is 100% correct! I do not have Graves' disease, nor have they confirmed that I have it, but I do have hyperthyroidism. I was diagnosed in 2014 and had every symptom associated with it. One doctor dismissed my concerns, so I switched to another one. She immediately said that I had hyperthyroidism and had me tested to be sure. I don't remember the medication she prescribed, but it worked really well for the year or so I took it. I eventually had issues with my insurance and had to stop taking it for a few months. During that time, I went completely vegan (clean vegan). I no longer had any symptoms of hyperthyroidism until recently, which is a combination of stress and unhealthy eating. I highly recommend giving yourself a few years to change your diet. Do not let them kill or remove your thyroid until you try this. If you think that you have hyperthyroidism, please go see a doctor and see a new one if the first one is not helpful. You can 100% tell when you have it. I can't explain it, but your body just feels different, even if you are not having any of the major symptoms. I knew mine was flaring up a month before my major symptoms started. Please advocate for yourself and do not take no for an answer.

Yes, I believe if you change your life style that diet can work for some people. It depends on how severe your hyperthyroidism is. I had hyperthyroidism from 2010 but every time my doctors tried to ween me off of carbimazole my symptoms would come back right away. So earlier this year I had the radioactive iodine and I'm now hypo. I believe that more research needs to be done on graves disease to find the root cause of hyperthyroidism. Relaxing/meditation, reducing stress and diet just don't work for everyone. The sad thing about having this disease is that some people can't work because they are in a constant state of tiredness.

I regret taking hypothyroid medication when I was first diagnosed 7 years ago. I always wonder if I would have gotten into remission had I taken a more aggressive, holistic approach. Why? Because I saw a difference in my labs within two weeks of natural supplements, but I was still symptomatic. Unfortunately, I didn't have the guidance or support from medical providers then, despite seeing a Naturopath, which I later fired. I remember doctors telling me this is a common disease; you just need to take Levo, and you'll be fine. Essentially, dismissing the disease. Flash forward, I achieved remission once; my antibodies were under 30, which doctors consider remission. However, I was still symptomatic. Now, since seven months ago, I have lost over 70 percent of my hair. It's devasting, to say the least, especially having been dealing with it all these years. I now own two wigs.

I have adult type 1 diabetes so my thyroid was well monitored. Tested in April and all was normal. In October I noticed my resting heart rate was high. Went to a cardiologist and after lots of testing could not find anything wrong. Also ended up in ER with speech difficulties that went away. Decided to test my thyroid labs. I am a nurse so was next logical step. My Endo was so shocked when it came back hyperthyroid. Wanted to do radioactive iodine but I also had thyroid eye disease. So was ruled out. Had great results with methimazole. Endo still has me on 2.5 mg a week. So that’s doable. Did have Tepezza infusions for TED and that was successful. That was not fun. Endo still asks if I want to ablate my thyroid at every visit. I’m like duh why.

They insist its best to keep it. One of my doctors had Hashis himself and had decided not to remove his own thyroid. Hopefully that's the right choice. My TSH levels are all over the place, high then low. I just can't get it stabilized. Have tried Synthroid, generic and Armour thyroid. I've also had Alopecia Universalis since 2011, completely bald. At one point I didn't even have eyelashes, which was so ugly and also you need them to protect your eyes! I'm very thankful now to have them back and a couple eyebrow hairs. Thank God for wigs! Thank YOU for your honesty and also for opening up your comment section as a place of community.

I was diagnosed with Graves disease Hyperthyroidism about 5 years ago. The HUGE stresser was the death of my youngest Son Austin. Depression and anxiety meds really screwed up my stomach, and now I'm taking Methimazole for my hyperthyroidism. My Endocrinologist keeps wanting to either remove or do radioactive iodine to kill my thyroid. I won't do it. He also doesn't believe that diet plays a part in healing the thyroid. I found a holistic, alternative Doctor. I wanted to get off of the meds for depression and anxiety, which I weaned off of. The holistic doctor has me taking herbs and other natural things to heal my stomach and my thyroid numbers are getting better since my stomach is healing and my diet is better. The Endo doc has slightly decreased my Methimazole. I go every 6 weeks for blood work, so we'll see what my numbers are after the next blood tests. When I saw my Endo doc a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was seeing the holistic doctor, and wrote down what he has me taking, and my Endo doc wouldn't even acknowledge that since I started healing my stomach, AND better diet, my thyroid numbers are getting better.

I am so very sorry to hear about your son. My Endo was the same where she wouldn’t acknowledge diet, and made me feel so silly for thinking that would help me. My dad is also a doctor, although retired now, and he was really the only one in my corner that supported me and kept telling me my whole body was connected. If one thing was off, it can throw the rest off. It was that idea that kept me looking after my body, mind, stomach, and once I reached a place where I was mentally strong again, physically, and healthy with what I ate, everything changed. It took my body a long time to go into remission… but it still happened. And my Endo doc was so wrong. I saw many Endo docs (not sure if I said that in this video- but because I moved about three times, I had about three doctors who all said the same thing and wouldn’t acknowledge diet or any opinion I had on my own health.) You’re definitely doing the right thing. Especially if you’re taking all the necessary steps to feel good again; nobody knows you better than you. Thank you so much for sharing your own story with us.

This was exactly me. My doctor hadn’t seen such a severe case and my hair was also coming out in clumps ❤️ my eyes were bulging out of my head too and hurt constantly. I hope you are able to get better and feel better! I know how terrible this disease is and how it makes you feel like you can’t even function. You are in my thoughts and prayers ❤️

I have hypothyroidism. My first symptom was feeling tired all the time.

Look in to iodine supplementation. My Dr wanted me on meds but I found Lugols Iodine solution - I take 20 drops with a healthy fat ( nuts seeds) in my smoothie and everything came back to normal. Start off low dose 5 drops and work up. Lots of info on KZread

My eyes popped out too... In my other video I talk about all my symptoms. My eyes really bothered me... especially because one popped out more than the other. I thought it was very obvious, and unfortunately I had that symptom for a LONG time. Years. That symptom and my hair loss annoyed me the most

Definitely stress anxiety ❤

Seven doctors until one listened. We badly need a system rating doctors so if they're not good they get fired. They have no consequences for being terrible at their job.

Omg that wig suits you. You would not think its a wig. My god its liks your own hair ❤

Yes I was because I was an extreme case and the meds I was on kept me balanced and within levels.

You look so cute with your baby belly.

I'm not a Doctor , I don't know everything.. What ? Believe me. Doctors don't know your body as well as you do. Get some Jesus On ! The Healer of All.
