Seeking advice on diet for endocrine condition

Finally have another appointment at an Endocrinologist for a second opinion. This doctor was recommended by a co-worker, but I have to wait till March. My husband is getting concerned with my condition. This past weekend I had food poisoning and was sick for a good 24 hours. I’m so frustrated with this whole situation. I have read other’s posts, I would like to know what diet has been working for you. I have been trying to stick to eating chicken, turkey and fish. Staying away from anything with gluten, soy and oils ( other than coconut or olive oil). Mostly organic fruits and vegetables. If anyone has any other thoughts or advice, I would really appreciate it..

Dealing with Hyperthyroidism and Nodules on Thyroid

I was recently diagnosed with subclinical hyperthyroidism/graves with a TSH dropping from 1.6 to .18 in 3 months, normal T3 T4 TSI of 18.6 . I'm experiencing many symptoms, some have subsided since I've been on propylthiouracil but they found 2 nodules on my thyroid and I've been waiting for an appt with a new Endo for months now and I'm beginning to lose hope, I know the TSI is way above normal range, but I don't know the severity of it being that my previous Endo wasn't very helpful/informative. I'm curious what everyone's numbers were and what treatment route you've taken to stabilize yourself. I want to start a family soon and I know I need to get it under control first, so I am trying to stay proactive , but it's hard when I'm unsure about everything. tyia 😁

Living with Graves Disease: My Struggle with Symptoms and Isolation

Hi all. I was diagnosed with Graves my freshman year of college at 18. Since then I’ve gone through three endos. I struggle so much with the day to day symptoms - mostly the fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog. I had a thyroid storm last year six months after having my son. It feels like I’m completely alone. My husband and no one in my family has chronic diseases so I feel very alone most of the time. I mostly joined to feel more seen. Anyone else?

Struggling with Graves' Disease Medication Dosing

I have multiple autoimmune diseases. The one I’m having Great issue with is Graves’ disease, and my dosing of medication. They pulled me off Synthroid put me on Tirosint, due to celiac. They still cannot get my levels after a year, in optimal range. They will have me do 2-100mg and 5-88mcg a week. Tuesday and Friday is the 100, Monday Wednesday Thursday Saturday and Sunday is the 88. I cannot get the feeling regulated in my body, I either feel like I’m crashing on the 88 or I feel like I’m hyper on the 100. Can anybody please give me any suggestions. If I just take the straight 88 all week my levels go low, if I take the 100 all week they go too high. This is why they have me splitting up the week doing both. Any suggestions please I would love to hear them. Thank you guys very much.
