[quote=Anonymous]My mom has Graves, was diagnosed around age 40. This was 25 years ago, when nobody tested you for thyroid issues so it took her a year of misery before she got diagnosed. It is very hereditary, but she says that once she got diagnosed and started treatment, she has felt great and in 25 years has had no issues. They wiped out her thyroid and she takes synthroid. I get tested every year because of the hereditary nature of the disease, and so far, nothing. I just got my annual test today and am afraid this year is the year - I'm down 10 pounds and can't get the weight back on. I've had my second baby, and my body has never reacted well to BFing (I lose weight), but I weaned a few months ago and the weight has not gone up. Otherwise I don't seem to have any symptoms. I've also been skinny but this is ridiculous. Anyway, just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect assuming I do have an issue. TIA! [/quote]
