A member asked:

Doctor just diagnosed me with hashimotos and graves disease. what can i expect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hashitoxicosis: I am presuming you are hyperthyroid, but there is evidence of thyroid inflammation, or high tpo antibodies. If the thyroid is tender, nsaids or possibly Prednisone is used. Most endocrinologists would treat the hyperthyroidism with meds (methimazole, beta blockers) and then recommend either radioactive iodine or surgery.
