Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update on my condition,I was scheduled for RAI on Thusday I called for a second opinion to a lot of endos finnally got in,and she decided to give me the three choices that i have that some of you told me about but theoldendo said the easiest and cheapiest and the best is the RAI . This endo put me on methimazole and I feel great for now. No more not being able to keep my foot on the brake or gas(what a trip that is. The tremors have almost stopped and no being hyper at all.Do not know if it will last forever but my husband of 35 years is sure glad I am on something that is working for me right now. And by the way my new endo also encouraged me to stay on this website she said she recommends it…so thanks to all who answer my questions and the help that I received from this site and to all of us with this crazy disease I wish all of us the best of luck. I will give an update soon.
Thanks again
DebI’m glad you found a different doctor ~ it’s sad that so many doctors feel they know everything, and can make our treatment choices without even involving us. RAI may be ONE quick way to get your thyroid hormone levels back in check, but all three treatment choices are valid and effective (technically, surgery might be quicker), and it’s not your doctor’s body, is it? ALL doctors should allow their patients the freedom of choice. I wish they’d say things more like "IN MY OPINION, RAI is the quickest way to get back to normal thyroid hormone levels, but there are two other choices ~ here’s some paperwork on all three options, let me know how you’d like to proceed." Wouldn’t that be nice???

Hey Deb! That new doc sounds great! I’m so glad you are feeling better! Please do keep us posted!!! ” title=”Very Happy” />
AWESOME!!! Glad you found the dr.!!!
Tell your dh that if he needs some support when you are not "feeling yourself" he can come on here too! It’s not easy being with someone who has Graves’ Disease. It takes a lot of patience to try to support them as well and they might not understand how to do that when all they get is our moodiness. ” title=”Very Happy” />
Kick Graves’ Disease’s BUTT!!!!!!!!
Congratulations of successfully finding a doctor that listens. YOu may still doing something permanent, but now you have some time to consider the choices.
Take care,
