Have graves and hashimoto antibodies.
Graves not currently active due to medication but one eye has been hurting, I feel pressure and it’s smaller than the other eye because eye lids are swollen. Sensitive to light and pain to move. But no prostosis. Will post pic in comments
About 2 weeks ago my endo told me to stop taking my methamizole cold turkey (after 8 months) as my labs are trending mildly hypo and my antibodies for graves are negative now and my antibodies for hashimoto are extremely high.
I’m in day 4 now of headache and pressure and swelling in my left eye. It doesn’t look bulged, if anything it looks smaller because surrounding lids are swollen.
I had similar symptoms 10 months during my recent relapse but they cleaned with the methamizole and now are back after stopping so I can only assume they are related.
I’m just confused how this can happen with negative graves antibodies and hypo looking labs.
Long story short, I was diagnosed with graves disease back in 2021. Was treated with methamizole and propanol for 2 1/2 years and achieved remission. Unfortunately, it came back with a vengeance after being off my meds for a year and a half. The symptoms came back different, stronger, and had additional symptoms as well. Upon testing my antibodies, we have now realized that the graves is no longer active, but my TPO and anti- thyrobubin are extremely high. I’ve been on methamizole again for 9 months and my thyroid panel now shows hypothyroid. Dr. suggest I go off everything and see what my thyroid does; he also mentioned that people in my situation, usually get tired of the constant up and down of the thyroid and that’s why they recommend a more permanent solution as this will be a life long problem. This was a little disheartening to hear as I am only 36 years old and consider myself otherwise healthy. That being said, I feel like my thyroid is decreasing my quality of life. I am so sensitive to stress I feel like I cannot function properly. I am also extremely exhausted no matter how much sleep I get I have no energy to play with my kids or do anything. My body feels fragile and sensitive. Will radiation or surgery actually fix my quality of life? I’ve read that removing the thyroid doesn’t fix the autoimmune disorder.
Also wondering, which method is best. I have mild thyroid eye disease so I thought radiation would be out of the picture, but my doctor says because it is mild. It should be fine.
Please share your stories and experience as I feel scared and confused on what to do. Thank you!

They built 19” backsplash, 30” cabinets
We thought about adding uppers and crown mounding but the gap is almost 3 feet, it would look awkward
Help!
Just wondering if anyone has been through something similar and what the outcome was.
I was diagnosed with a 6cm dermoid cyst 6 months ago and was awaiting surgery when suddenly I started developing increasing pain. An emergency surgery found that the cyst grew 3 cm in 3 months and was now 9cm. I was taken for emergency surgery for ovarian torsion and in the end it wasn’t twisted but surgeon said instead of one cyst there were three totaling about 10cm, but they couldn’t remove one in its totality and as one was too attached to the ovary and the ovary starting bleeding so they left it to try and save my ovary.
They said the surgery was more complicated than normal and the recovery has been complicated as well. I was in the hospital for three days as they thought they would have to go back in for internal bleeding in the ovary but eventually managed it with blood clotting medication. Doctor said they will probably wait till 6 weeks post partum and maybe send me for a CT to see how things are healing.
It’s been about three weeks now and a although im a lot better I still feel pelvic pressure and period like cramping.
Has anyone beef through something similar? What happened to the cyst that was left behind?
Thank you 🙏 😊
