Graves' Disease

I've been diagnosed with Graves' Disease, which is really just a fancy name for hyperthyroidism, and is the most common form of it.  This occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland and causes it to overproduce the hormone thyroxine.   So I am taking Tenorim to reduce my heart rate and Tapazole to slow down my thyroid.  My doctor is working on getting my into a endocrinologist in Saginaw.   Once my thyroid is under control, I can look into having the radioactive iodine treatment.  I have to continue to have regular blood work done, to monitor my thyroid and my liver.  Apparently, the meds(and thyroid) can have affect your liver, which is why I assume the pills are not a permanent treatment.  I asked for images of the scan that was taken of my thyroid, so I could post them, but no go.  I know, I'm a dork.  I'm still tired a lot, but am feeling a little improvement.  There is no known cause of this, but it does happen more frequently in women than men.
