Some ramblings of an individual diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease called Graves' and how it affects life in general.
I may not look sick, but I am. I am learning to deal with it and hoping to find ways to not let it consume me.

Diet...?
Found this article today in search of diet restrictions for Hyperthyroidism.
I did not know that we are encouraged to eat Kale. I was under the impression that kale is full of iodine... Any thoughts?
The one that was hardest to give up but I had to was caffeine - it made me feel like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. Unfortunately after RAI when I went hypo I picked it back up to try and keep up with work. I have definitely kept some cutbacks on it though.
It's probably the most difficult cutback ever...lol I think it was easier to quit smoking almost three years ago, than it is to stop drinking coffee. ;-]
