Hi...Im going to my primary care doctor monday and would like her to draw blood work....my endo only takes the T3/T4 and TSH...which are all back to normal....which is great...but Graves is not a thyroid disease....As of late I've been breaking out with little red dots...and I've been fighting a skin rash the past 3 years...this has to somehow be tied to the autoimmune disease.... 

Any help with what blood test that I should ask my Primary Doctor to run...would be great....thanks so much  

and does anyone else have skin issues...I also have very dry skin...which I've never had before and of course the endo says it not related... 

Thanks so much...

      I have heard of people who are in remission for 10 years or longer.  For myself, even though my labs are good right now and my antibodies are currently undetectable, I kind of think any major stress can trigger it to happen again, although being monitored and having labs done every 3 months keeps me on top of it.

      According to everything I read ... Graves' disease is an auto immune disease which affects THE THYROID

      Not any other parts of the body ...

      But the Thyroid !

      Maybe I'm just stupid but I think that makes it a disease of the Thyroid

      ... i.e.A Thyroud disease
