Thyroid Problem - Hyperthrodism/Graves Disease

[Guest guest]

I am hoping you guys can give me some good advice and hopefully some

ideas to help. I am actually trying to get information for my sister.

She is currently housed in Federal Prison and has been suffering from

some thyroid problems (she does have history of thyroid problems).

Getting to see a doctor and getting any testing or medication is like

pulling teeth. She keeps going to the doctors (they are there 2 times

a month for 300 inmates) but it will be a while before they set her up

for testing. They have to make sure she is not " faking " or anything.

We have done a bunch of research and feel she definately has

hyperthyroidism and is suffering from the bulging eyes also, which has

us leaning toward Graves Disease. We are unable to send anything into

her and she can purchase stuff from the commissary but it is limited.

I am not sure if she has access to herbal supplements or not. She is

taking a multivitamin that she buys, but I am hoping to get some ideas

on nutritional, yoga, exercise, meditation or anything that she may be

able to do to try and help. Please feel free to send any ideas, maybe

she can get stuff ordered in if she knows what to ask for. Thanks for

any help and please forward books, aricles or any information you

think could be pertinent.
