My Journey with Grave Disease: Healing Naturally

I was diagnosed in February with Hyperthyroidism. I was referred to an Endocrinologist and a Cardiologist. It took months to get an appointment to either of these specialists. Very frustrating I have to say. Anyway, the Cardiologist checked me out with everything sounding normal. He firmly believed that the heart palpitations are from the thyroid problems. Next visit was to the Endocrinologist. He wasn’t that pleasant, right away he asked why it took so long to see him. I gave him copies of all my previous lab work. He poked at me and then told me to make an appointment for a test, at the hospital. It’s a nuclear pill that I swollen and then they ultrasound my thyroid. That sounds scary to me. I’m very sensitive to medications, so I’m really Leary about this test . But he really irritated me when he said we may have to remove the thyroid. This was too much for me to take. A functional medicine place did their own blood work. Turns out I have Graves’ disease. I have been on a special diet since June. Trying my best to stick to it. List 23 pounds in total. I’m not a big person, so now my skin is hanging off me. I feel tired and drained all the time. I’m trying to get in to see a different Endocrinologist for a second opinion. I hope I don’t have to wait several months again. Anyone have any suggestions.
