(Graves’ Disease Symbolism, Part XI)
Several years later, just before I got thé diagnosis, I was again misdiagnosed (twice, actually): I had a new bloodtest, and the first doctor that saw the results, said I had Hepatitis (a few days later, the same bloodresults díd get me the correct diagnosis). And so the story goes… Thus, when you suspect a thyroid disease, I advise you to also let your antibodies be checked: TSH (& T3, T4) levels might not be the first to show signs of change. I don’t know if it will then show in the antibody levels (I’m no doctor), but I got a sneeking suspicion… Keep in mind that the cause of this disease and the function of the antibodies are not well understood. Especially if your family history shows thyroid problems, demand that all possible parameters be checked. My mother and her sisters, my grandmother and great-grandfather all have/had thyroid problems. You would think then that I’d have a pretty good chance of someone figuring out my enigma sooner than later. However, my relatives all had Hashimotos’ disease (and thus, HYPOthyroidism). Hypothyroidism is usually earlier detected because of the disastrous fatigue. When you have hyperthyroidism, your restlessness will mask your tiredness.
“The vast majority of patients with hyperthyroidism, certainly including those with Graves’ hyperthyroidism, meet criteria for some psychiatric disorders. A few patients may not meet these criteria but they are probably not free of mental symptoms such as tension, anxiety or depression.
Psychiatric disorders and mental symptoms are common features of hyperthyroidism. In hyperthyroidism, increased β-adrenergic activity accounts for many physical and mental symptoms. Depression, (hypo)mania and anxiety disorders are the most frequent psychiatric findings in patients with hyperthyroidism. However, mechanisms other than hyperthyroidism, including the automimmune process per se and ophthalmopathy, should also be considered as factors affecting mental state. A substantial proportion of patients with hyperthyroidism have psychiatric disorders or mental symptoms and decreased quality of life even after succesful treatment of their hyperthyroidism. (…) A substantial proportion of patients have an altered mental state even after succesful treatment of hyperthyroidism, suggesting that mechanisms other than hyperthyroidism, including the Graves autoimmune process per se and ophtalmopathy, may also be involved. (Bunevicius & Prange, 2006)
Avoid “bad” psychiatrists like the plague. If you can find one who’s realistic and wise, (s)he can be a very helpful guide on the GD-road. However, a continuing flow of quality information during your recovery might be as helpful/enlightening. Continuous study will allow your brain to be it’s own guide. You will learn a lot, not only things that are directly related to GD. A lot of what you’ll pick up during GD, can be extrapolated to the “normal life”, so its not an entirely useless time. However, depending how long GD has affected you, an outsider with a sense of perspective can be a valuable partner. After all, perspective is one of the things GD drains, and something you absolutely need. I was really baffled seeing how my cosmopolitan & sophisticated worldview gradually transformed into a flat, boring, 2D piece of shit. Other Gravers have put it this way: your world gets really small. Also, considering that “hyperthyroidism can precipitate or cause virtually any form of psychiatric condition” (Arem, 1999) (yeah, if you have it long enough, it’s like an encyclopedic Who’s Who in the world of mental jokes; so besides very tough and at the highest level of suck, GD can also be very interesting), he can fill you up with knowledge about some of the inner experiences GD is pressing on you, and provide you with context and perspective. After all, it’s his/her field of study.
[In that respect, I got a tip to all the psychs. If you are a natural in what you do, and you’re in for some experimenting: try living on too much thyroid hormone for a few years/months! When you’re on too much thyroid, you will experience all those things, while still being conscious about what you are experiencing + having studied it all, you’ll be able to receive everything in it’s respective theoretical jacket. You will get an incredible amount of insight in the human mind. Keep in mind that the real thing still has a few significant differences, not in the least that you KNOW you’re on too much thyroid hormones… Caution: stay away from this experiment if you got “issues”, and are not deeply aware of who and what you are. Thoroughly study GD before you embark on this road.
