Hi, My name is Julie and my husband has Graves Disease. My purpose in coming to this site was to see if I can get some advice and support on how to handle my husband's horrible anger outbursts, inability to stay employed for any length of time and his general attitude since his original onset of symptoms. Things are getting really tough. I'm hoping someone who may have experienced even some of the things that are going on in my household can maybe give me the push I need to keep going. He is on medication and it seemed to really help for a few months, but now I feel like we are right back at square one even though his doctor says his levels are finally coming down. I guess a little about me: I have a beautiful daughter with my husband, she is two. I work nights to pay the bills and I'm tired of walking on eggshells everyday.
