Hi my names ria its been a journey since diagnosis beginning of 2020. When just casually trying to go antiquing I couldn't make it across the hall without stopping and trying to catch my breathe. Eventually I was talked into going to the er where they attempted to admit me to the icu in cardiac arrest. They said most likely from going undiagnosed hyperactive led to cardiac arrest, I was in a thyroid storm, having mimicked heart attacks that I chalked up to anxiety, pneumonia, graves disease, hashimotos and a thymoma gland tumor in my chest. After months of trying to get me stable enough for surgery in the middle of a pandemic I was able to recieve a total thyroidectomy. A 9 lb thyroid btw. And my antibodies were quadruple what they should be. A good range is 34 i rested at 498. Althought my levels are down they are still doubled.But now I no longer resemble the girl who couldn't catch her breathe antiquing. Graves and hypothyroid has taken my identity. Which has left me alone. Im really reaching out maybe for someone who gets it although id never want anyone to understand. five years later I am finally stable in my thyroid levels but mentally unstable. Tit for tatt.
