Missy Elliott Opens Up About Graves Disease on  

I have it as well, it sucks and people that don't have it don't understand what we deal with on a daily basis and it only gets worse. :(

What are graves diseases?

is it painful?

^UltraBrightGaming^ No they're not. That's kinda immature.

Change offices, I had to switch clinics and keep asking for tests until someone listened. It took almost a year because your tsh, t3 and t4 will fluctuate depending on what time of day you take the test. It is so frustrating.

honey i know exactly what you're going thru. i'm sorry u feel like this. i suffered with graves' since i was 13, they put me on drugs to suppress my thyroid and then i became hashimoto's. i'm 23 now and mostly in remission. you need to try the 30-day reset autoimmune diet (cutting out gluten, dairy, corn, soy and sometimes nightshades- all very common antagonists), and also do some research into low-dose naltrexone, an immuno-modulator rather than suppressant. and then, try to link up with a functional medicine practitioner or an actually sympathetic doctor who will write u a prescription. i know how seriously it can affect u day to day and i know how hard it is to find someone who will understand what's going wrong. hope this helps and u soon feel better.

Tiffany Davis I just got diagnosed with graves disease last month. Definitely it has its ups and downs it a autoimmune disease. Its not pretty but just trying to stay positive but I have my days just want to stay in bed

If you don't mind me asking, how are you getting on in so far as the Graves disease condition is concerned! Did the 30 day reset work?

It's a year later, and I hope you stayed prayerful, optimistic, took your meds, ate right, and stay on the path to getting back on track. Graves is deadly serious and people who don't have it just don't understand the damage it causes. I wish you luck and good health!(I've been in remission for 8yrs. It's possible to get through it!!)

@Tara King Thank you for asking... It's a struggle, but I'm getting through it. The same month I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease in 2013, I was also diagnosed with Essential Tremors, Degenerative Disc Disease, Spinal Arthritis, Double Vision, a disease that causes internal cysts in my body, and Blood Clots throughout my body. In 2015, a blood clot claimed two feet of my intestines and my appendix. I've also had possibly six strokes since February 2019.. The same day I got out of the hospital from my first stroke, Luke Perry had died that same day from a stroke.... I cried about that the entire freakin day... Only two of my strokes were hospital visits and treated.. The rest of them I just stayed home and sucked it up because in my state, without health insurance, you're treated like a second class citizen by ALL hospitals... And with me not having health insurance for the past five years, I haven't been able to get metical treatments for any of it and they all only got worse. I'm finally getting a Colonoscopy in December and I now possibly have Crohn's Disease. Because I haven't been able to get my Essential Tremors under control along with my Degenerative Disc Disease, I can barely walk. But, MOST of what I was diagnosed with are autoimmune diseases.. The doctors don't know if mine were caused by my thyroid or not, but that everything I was diagnosed with was passed down genetically.

@Tara King Thank you! I have applied for disability seven times, two of which I got a lawyer and we went to the end, and I still got denied because I can see, I can move my fingers and I "can walk." Social Services can't help me.. All of my local churches and organization's resources have dried up and because I don't have insurance, the hospital refuses to investigate any of my issues, especially intestinal. I never heard of Graves' Disease going into remission. I know Missy Elliott claimed that a few years ago and it came back with vengeance. What I read about her a couple of months ago, she learned how to use her Graves' Disease to her own advantage, threw it into Hyperthyroidism and lost a good amount of weight and looks freaking amazing! I did the same thing a few years ago and went from 265 pounds down to 200 and little did I know when I went back to my regular dosage of meds, that my intestines were was going to shit on their own accord. I'm now 145 pounds, sicker than a dog and can't seem to get my thyroid back to Hypothyroidism to save my ass. What I have learned over the past five years is.. Hypothyroidism causes weight gain and blood clots... Too much medications causes me to become sluggish, lazy, and inactive. Hence my strokes... Hyperthyroidism causes weight loss, more physically active, a much healthier digestive track, but can possibly cause additional autoimmune issues. Hence, all of my other hell! I wish you all the best in dealing with this. Listen to your body.. Nobody knows it better than you. My Endocrinologist I had, although I thought the world of him, made me overdose on my meds, get fat as hell and I had my first stroke less than two weeks after last seeing him. He wants me to come back, but I can't afford it out of pocket. Good luck. Those of us living with Graves' Disease are living in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" lifestyle that nobody out there understands. It's our place to educate them... I've done my share through the years.. Most of the troubled ones were the ones who told me that I was not sick and that it was all in my head.... Most of them, I no longer associate myself with.

I have Graves Disease also, but I realize that God did not give this to me. God is loving, and if I would not make my child sick to teach her a lesson and I'm just a puny human, God would not do that. The Bible shows us that we get sick for the same reason that we die, because of sin. Ezekiel 18:4 _"Look! All the souls to me they belong. As the soul of the father so also the soul of the son-to me they belong. The soul who sins is the one who will die."- This is why Jesus as a perfect man had to die for us, to restore what Adam, who was a perfect man loss for us, and that is eternal life as perfect people. Romans 5:12_ "That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned" - Since Satan was the one who caused Adam and Eve's to sin, that's where to lay the blame. Never blame God for the bad you see in the world, because that was not his purpose for the earth, but you can be assured that he will soon take care of the problem. Then you will see the true God in action and his name is Jehovah God, not just any god!

I found out in April 2019 at my health check-up that I have graves disease. I've been full of emotions ever since. I go to the endocrinologist once a month and take medication twice a day. That has serious side-effects. My weight has been fluctuating, and I break out into itchy hives. It's very difficult dealing with this, but I know God got me and I will not let this disease kill my faith. Thank you Missy for sharing your story. God Bless you luv😘

@Tara King Thank you for the encouragement!! How are you treating your gut? If it's okay to ask.

@Tara King I'm doing so much better! Thank you for asking. What have you found to be helpful since your diagnosis? For me, it's calming strategies and drinking a lot more water.

@Tara King It sounds like you have a lot to be responsible for, especially right now. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. I hadn't read about the Vitamin D deficiency but it totally makes sense! I live in Seattle, WA, and everyone here is low in Vitamin D. I'll make sure to add vitamins to my routine too. I'm wishing you the best on this unexpected journey and I hope that one day a cure is found.

@Tara King Thank you so much for sharing! You've been incredibly kind and supportive. 💖

Hope you don't mind my asking, have you managed to resolve the Graves disease condition, and how?

That's exactly what I did... Well I became vegetarian and I got rid of it. 2 year free from Graves!!!!

don’t work

How? Please share

Help me

The best way to get rid of it is Letting go of all animal. Become a vegetarian. It's worked for me. Got my life back, I thought Graves was gonna take me down but I did my homework and followed other on RU-vid who had the same disease and did what they did. These doctors are no help, they all about pushing drug. I was on methimazole for 1 year then I changed my diet got off tha meds. Clean out your system, let that junk go. Eat clean. I'm 2 1/2 years Graves free!!!!
