Identified With Graves…However Might It Be Hashitoxicosis?

Hiya everybody,

I’ve simply been identified with Graves Disease and the doctor feels I should start Tapazole on the lowest dose and see her in a few weeks. I have a sinking feel she’s wrong, though…and wonder if it could actually be Hashitoxicosis. I don’t have any symptoms at all (apart from weight loss, but that has been gradual and I have been doing Weight Watchers religiously). I will give you all the lab results I have, and then I’d be curious what your opinions are. I also had an ultrasound that showed no nodules and according to the first endo I saw (I ditched him because he was a jerk) said the shape and look of it was that of Hashimoto’s. I should also mention that my father has hypothyroidism and my mother had lupus. Please let me comprehend what you suppose. Thanks!
