Grave's disease

I was diagnosed with graves in 1992. I had surgery to partially remove it. I instantly became underactive and started on thyroxine until my thyroid grew back (who knew) in 2000. I then had radio iodine at the Christy hospital and within a week or so I was unable to stand or even hold the telephone. Back on the thyroxine which changes dosage at least once a year. I had a scan of my thyroid and the radiographer couldn't see any thyroid tissue at all. I had to have the partial thyroidectomy initially as I had a goitre. It has certainly messed up my life and obviously affected my weight. I almost wish I'd never had the surgery but my condition was very advanced. I even got the poppy eyes ! The first time I was thyrotoxic I was a classic case. Shaking , fast heartbeat, unable to stay still, even started to be psychotic! I was skinny but barking! The second time I went thyrotoxic I was cold and couldn't lose weight.
