Graves’ Disease Stories
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid and can have serious, often invisible effects. It can feel so isolating and so lonely, but you are NOT alone. There is help and there is hope. Here are six stories from individuals living with Graves’ Disease.
Meet Paige
“Graves disease has had a huge impact on me emotionally. It’s been a really long journey. I have struggled with it for a long time and it has absolutely changed my life. Also, it is a little depressing at times to know that I am not like everybody else my age.”
Meet Michelle
“Graves disease is exhausting. It feels like a lot of different symptoms all at once. Unexplainable, sometimes unpredictable. It can feel scary at times.”
Meet Kim
“Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid. It is invisible, but it is real. There are so many side effects. Anxiety, irritability, and the double vision with thyroid eye disease is debilitating. Nobody wants to hear everyday ‘I don’t feel good’ so you keep it to yourself and you feel all alone.”
Meet Emma
“Leading up to my diagnosis, it was impacting my life in very small, subtle ways that it wasn’t really bothering me so much in the moment, but looking back, I realized all of these little things were kind of major indicators that something was wrong internally.”
Meet Courtney
“After being diagnosed and going through dealing with Graves disease at a young age, I noticed that I isolated myself a lot and I didn’t want to be around friends. I didn’t have the energy or the mental capacity to have conversations like normal people.”
Meet Cameron
“Before I was diagnosed with Graves, I had a lot of anxiety. I had extreme fatigue. It just came out of nowhere. The the loss of strength. I wasn’t able to really just get up and make dinner. I had a hard time even making dinner. I lost so much strength I’d have to pull up a chair to the kitchen stove. It took a long time to get the answers I was looking for. ”
