A member asked:
I have an autoimmune disorder; graves' disease, what happens from here?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: You will eventually end up with low thyroid status and will require life-long thyroid replacement which is really not a big deal. If you already have bulging eyeballs from the disease, this may be partly corrected by cosmetic surgery. Do note that you are at a somewhat higher risk in developing another autoimmune disorder.
