Thyroid storm

hi all, I’m wondering if any of you who has Hashimotos or graves have also had the thyroid storm that causes you to go from hyper to hypo and back again. If so, how long does either side last for you? How many times a month or how many times a year etc?

Hi I have had to increase thyroxine from 75 to 100 mcg I have been on this before for years and was fine but blood tests show I need it .I have also been battling an infection and on antibiotics .would this cause me to feel very anxious and nervous .shaking inside .doctor has prescribed diazepam but

Hello. I am 38 and just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism due to Graves. I am so frightened for the future and what this is going to do to me and how it will impact my life. The only stories I have found from people suffering with it are horrendous. Is it possible to live a normal life with this
