Hi, my doctor believes that I might have Grave’s disease, as presence of immunoglobulins which attack thyroid gland has been confirmed in my blood. Is it necessaraly Grave’s disease or not?

Defect in the immune system with increased production of immunoglobulins (antibodies) which attack the thyroid gland, can be connected to overproduction of thyroid hormone and Grave’s disease. Symptoms include: fatigue, weight loss, restlessness, tachycardia (rapid heart beat), changes in libido, muscle weakness, heat intolerance, tremors, heart palpitations, increased sweating, nervousness & irritability. Graves' disease is not curable, but is a completely treatable disease. It affects you completely, but with regular medicine treatment it can be completely putted under control.
