I don't have Grave's Disease but I've well-educated a lot more or less it... it sounds like it have recurred by listen to your symptoms.

It's important for you to catch treatment and take the medicine to replace your depleted hormone levels... this is the singular treatment that is potent. I understand have insurance limits your capacity to go to the doctor (I don't hold any either), but your condition needs to be treated until that time irreversible damage happen.

Depending on your income you may qualify for Medicaid... call your local community services bureau to check. Also, since you have a diagnosed condition that requires treatment, they may receive exceptions even if your income is over the limit, so be sure to explain your situation. If that doesn't work, they can refer you to agencies that can facilitate you pay for your doctors visit.

Good luck and best wishes!
