I have made this website in the hope of helping people understand Graves' Disease and other thyroid disease's. I know how lost and lonely it is to have Graves' Disease. I have been there. I hate to see anyone suffer with the emotions and lost feeling's that I had.
I have found little things that have helped me over the years. Support is on the top of my list. It may be a husband , a friend, a support group or a buddy that also has Graves' Disease and can relate to how you feel.
My husband and children have been a great support for me. I am one of the lucky one's and I thank God everyday for my family. Not all of us are lucky enough to have family support. I know people that have been divorced because of this disease. Homes break up and a family is lost.
What people have to understand is if there is one person in your house that has Graves' Disease it effects everyone in that house. Everyone in that house has to deal with the changes in that one person. Everyone in that house has to live with this disease. You would think that everyone in that house would work together to make life easier for everyone.
Well, it does not always happen that way. If you truly love some one and they are sick you stand by them and help them deal with this disease. I don't know if it is just to hard or they just don't want to spend the extra energy needed. Everyone has their reason's. The best thing to do if you have this disease and the other person wants to move on, there is not much you can do about it. You have your health to worry about. Don't ever feel guilty for having this disease. It choose you not the other way around.
