My 37 year old son has been diagnosed with hyperthyroid syndrome. He is on Propanepolol for now. He s had ultrasound and will get the results tomorrow and possible more medication. Graves does not run in my family or his fathers so he must have a viral or baterical form... As most hyperthyroid patients he itches so so much and is irritible as little sleep. Is there anything he can do at home to soothe the itching...at least to get some sleep.... pine tar soap, coconut oil, very hot or cold showers, gold bond cream???? Maybe the doctor will give cortisoine medications tomorrow. I hope so, but what is something he can do now.
