I was diagnosed with graves disease back in january 09.I am scared and i keep asking myself why.They say they think it is heredited and i wish i knew becasue my mom and dad both died when i was young. My sister has cerbal palsey maybe she got it from our parents like me, no one knows, we dont even know what killed our mother. My heart rate has been as high as 185bpm and i've had the shakes and nervousness since I was born they blamed it on the use of drugs from my parents know im thinking differently. My husband had gotten laid off in april we lost our insurance and i am out of meds and i cant get medicaid in the state of ga because we have no children. about a month and a half ago his job called him back so hopefully we will receive insurance soon. We've been married 10yrs and always tried for children but to no avail, do you think that when my graves disease is under control we will be able to conceive? I wish everyone good luck in recovering from a disease that theres no answer for, I hope we can help eachother out on here because i need it..
