    Diagnosed with graves in Sept of 2012. The only reason we even caught it was because of the eye bulging. My anxiety and blood pressure were through the roof. It was a relief to start methimazole and get a grip on my symptoms. I had lost 99 pounds over 3 years. And was super excited to hit 100. But I had to start prednisone for the eye issue. I gained 35 pounds back in just 3 months. Which was totally depressing. And my aggression was horrrible. Worst medicine ever. My symptoms immediately came back when my steroids course had finished. So right back on the steroids. I ate super healthy. Joined a 10 week kickboxing program and did jillian Michael's Dvds most evenings. 7 weeks of hell just to maintain. Been off steroids for 2 weeks and hoping to lose that 35 pounds again and finally hit that triple digit! My thyroid levels are well maintained on the methimazole. And I was able to get off the heart med. Now I'm just dealing with the eye issue. Im scheduled for orbital decompression surgery in 7 weeks. Very excited to look less like a frog and alleviate the daily headaches from all that pressure.
