Spriggy, I have Hypothyroidism that is called Hashimotos Thyroiditis. It is the autoimmune type where your body turns on itself and destroys the organ. It presented as feeling very tired and sick for 2 days, and then I was jumping out of my skin with anxiety. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with me until an internist did a thyroid profile on me. And no matter what I ate, I couldn't gain wt. The exact opposite symptoms you would expect to see with a low thyroid. But, Graves Disease is definitely evident as you do have buldging eyes. Fondly, Phillipa
