More info. I was diagnosed with a severe case of graves disease/ hyperthyroidism when i was 19. it was the worst case the doctors in my area had seen and I was on the verge of having a heart attack. I actually had a team of doctors for this.

Then, I became pregnant with my daughter4 years later. (after 2 miscarriages) I was on medication the entire pregnancy and after I had her they gave me radioactive iodine theory to kill off part of my thyroid. 6 months later i stopped the meds and have since tested normal but have not been tested in a little over a year.

The only information i can find aside from the two being related all deals with people who were diagnosed with MS and were on interferons and then developed graves.

I was dx'd with Hashimoto's (hypothyroid) just months before the surprise MS dx..Come to think of it, I suddenly became allergic to pennicillin a year before...I believe they're related, though I don't think one causes the other. For me, it wasn't interferons, because the hypothyroid came before that..Hmmm

I have Hashimoto's also. The prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease among multiple sclerosis patients is widespread.

In my humble opinion, many cases of multiple sclerosis are more a systemic condition than one focused only on the nervous system. I also have autoimmune psoriasis,

Certainly, all of these auto immune syndromes must be related, and rather than insist on thinking of them as different diseases, which is the current dogma in mainstream medicine, I think it's about time that it was recognized that they are all manifestations of a single syndrome...
