Graves and Fungus

[fluffywhiteclouds]

I was diagnosed with Graves in oct 2019 and was prescribed Carbimazole to control the symptoms. Just after this I started taking Terbinafine for fungal toenails. Very fortunately for me within a year the Graves went into remission, as did another auto immune issue I was having. Interestingly at the same time my toenail fungal infection was knocked out. I do not know if the killing of nail and other fungi or the Terbinafine or just luck put the immune issues into remission. There are papers being written about fungus (mostly candida types) and auto immune disease. Has anyone else had any anecdotal experiences between fungi and Graves? I am not sure if I have the courage to go get candida and toenail rot to see if it brings my Graves back.

Hello

Recommend you do a secondary post on main forum.

There's many formerly treated Graves patients as well as people who have always been hypo which may be able to contribute.

I sure it will be an interesting discussion.
