Success Stories by Thyroid Sufferers

As one Cree storyteller said: Stories are Beings. You invite them to live with you. They will teach you what they know in return for being a good host. When they are ready to move on they’ll let you know. Then you pass them to someone else.

Stories will also sustain you in times of challenge, frustration, and failure and it will confront you in times of confusion, pain, and loss, as they do with me.

When it comes to success stories about people battling thyroid disorders, including Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s, you can not find many. Not because there aren’t, but probably because they are not written in paper yet…But here are some that I want to share with you…To lift your spirit, to give you hope and assure you that there is always a way out:

3. “Simona’s story..10 years ago I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. I went to see my doctor after I’ve put on 10 kilos (~22 pounds) in the space of 2 months. I knew something was wrong, since I’ve always been very, very active, athletic, toned and never overweight. I was my doctor’s first case of someone gaining weight with an overactive thyroid”…..  See more at:

Simona’s story from Australia..touched my heart!

Ok, this will be a very short post today….

Graves’ disease and overweight problems

I recently posted an article on my website about weight gain in hyperthyroidism. Many people responded with their stories, thank you so very much! I chose to publish one of them on my website, it touched my heart…This is Simona’s story (with the permission of the author of course!). I am sure you can learn a lot from this story, it has a lot to teach us all!

I’ll also be more than happy to publish your own story (anonymously or not), so other people can learn from experience as well. It doesn’t matter if you have Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s or hyperthyroidism. On the bottom of that same web page there are links to similar stories people donated for the purpose of sharing their own experience and success. Happy reading!
