It’s been a while since my last blog regarding my ‘battle’ with graves and it’s been sort of a rollercoaster with some highs and lows. So here’s an update. Let me first show you 3 graphs of the last period with results of the bloodtests. FT4 TSH TRAK Strictly looking at the numbers and rangeContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 15: Rollercoaster”

My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 13: back on track
Since my last post things have been going be the FT4 value was over 50 (when it’s supposed to be within the 9-25 range). The first check was good in the sense that the FT4 value was a bit above 25, which is down by a half. The other value which they usually check, theContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 13: back on track”
My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 12: hard choices
At the beginning of November last year I wrote a post about the fact that Graves disease was back (although technically it never left but was under control) and I started medication. The ‘numbers’ were not that bad so I thought I would have it under control quite fast. Unfortunatly – as these things goContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 12: hard choices”
My Battle With Graves Disease, part 9: check-up
In my last blog told about the fact that i was no longer under medical supervision and once again on my own. Hoping that the symptoms will not return and keeping up with my diet and lifestyle. I still am a bit anxious because after the first time i was ‘fired’ i had a relapseContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, part 9: check-up”
My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 5
Here’s an update since my last blog and i want to tell you about stuff that has happened and about the some symptoms which i wasn’t sure about. Sleeping Sleeping was/is still a bit of a problem, which is often a precursor to poor health, and i often wake up somewhere between 2 and 3Continue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 5”
My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 4
In my previous blogs [1, 2 and 3] i wrote about my battle from a personal perspective, and also with the idea that it might help some people recognize symptoms and/or have a kindred spirit. This blog is an extension of my journey but focussed more on what i did (and still doing) to fightContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 4”
My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 3
In my previous 2 blogs [part 1, part 2], i started writing about my ‘battle’ with graves disease and ended the last one with the hope that i was done, which wasn’t the case. So in the first half of 2018 a few things were a bit off. I had trouble sleeping through the night,Continue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, Part 3”
My Battle With Graves Disease, part 2
In my previous post i ended with stating that knowing what’s wrong is only the beginning. This post i wanted to tell what i did next after i found out what was wrong with me. I’m a pretty down to earth guy who follows science and wants to know more about the ‘WHY’ behind myContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, part 2”
My Battle With Graves Disease, part 1
My story probably started way earlier but that’s only in hindsight, let’s start in the summer of 2014 in France. I thought i had a bit too much around the waist and wanted to feel better, despite the fact that i worked out (fitness, running) and biked to work every day. Of course when there’sContinue reading “My Battle With Graves Disease, part 1”
