In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring Gabs, who shares their personal journey with Graves disease. Graves disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid which leads to hypothyroidism. Gabs openly sheds light on the challenges of living with this challenging and often-misunderstood disease. Gabs takes us through their experience, discussing the initial symptoms, the diagnosis process, and the emotional impact of receiving a life-altering diagnosis. He discusses the challenges of juggling this diagnosis with ADHD and we delve into the physical and mental aspects of managing Graves disease, including things like anxiety, increased heart rate, weight fluctuations, and emotional well-being. Gabs encourages empathy and support for individuals living with Graves disease, fostering a compassionate society for those with invisible illnesses. I really enjoyed this thought-provoking chat with Gabs, unraveling the complexities of Graves disease.
