I have been diagnosed with Graves’ disease and am currently on medications and beta blockers that I dislike, and they are not working. My heart rate is climbing to 225, my blood pressure is dropping to 95/63, and my white blood count is a mess. Doctors state I’m in a thyroid storm, and a fever or sore throat will hospitalize me. I don't understand why we aren't treating the root cause, which is an autoimmune disease. Instead, we are only using medications or considering killing or removing my thyroid. I refuse to accept that this is the solution.
