By the time I lost 45lbs, hair loss, heart racing, bulging eyes, etc. after two doctors (both men) telling me it was just nerves, a woman doctor tested me for Graves. She was livid when I told her about the other doctors. She said those guys belong in the 19th century where graves disease patients was misdiagnosed and thrown in mental institutions. I was so stressed out that I started smoking after quitting for 20 years. Although I went through radiation to kill my thyroid and on syn thyroid, I still suffer some of the symptoms such high amounts of anti-bodies, bulging eyes and double vision. I was told that smoking will increased the bulging of my eyes. Now that I am vaping and hasn't had a cigarette for 33 days, I am wondering will vaping do the same thing? I'd rather ask here before I ask my doctor. I don't think she will take too kindly to me vaping as it is.
