Reply With QuoteIt is not really a flip/flop other than in your TSH and T4 -- different antibodies affecting different things in your thyroid's function. I have not heard of anyone having both, but would not be surprised ... at least, not anymore!

This is really interesting since I was hypothyroid for 17 years and then in the past year noticed my TSH near rock bottom [signifying hyperthyroidism].
Yes, Graves Disease is autoimmune. [No surprise there, right?]
Has anyone else with Type 2 Diabetes and thyroid issues seen a flip/flop? Do you know what caused it?

I have a friend who has Grave's Disease (no diabetes though) and flip flopped during pregnancy. She's hypothyroid but for a portion of her pregnancy was hyper.

The North Face is asking for unspecified damages and wants the court to prohibit Jimmy Winkelmann from continuing to offer his alternative clothing line, The South Butt. Winkelmann's attorney argued that the public knows the difference between a face and a butt and those wanting a North Face product won't accidentally purchase one from South Butt.
