sunshine…when I was diagnoed at age 13 I also had to go every 6 weeks for about 8 months. Trust me, it won’t seem like such a long time once you’ve gone through a few rounds. Once I get “stabilized” with PTU, then I went every 3 months for awhile, then every 6 months, and finally once a year. After RAI, it was the same…every 6 weeks, then every 3 months, then 6 months, now once a year unless I feel like my levels are off. If you are feeling badly, then call your doctor and I’m sure that he’ll see in between visits. Otherwise, go with the 6 week thing. It takes some time for the meds to start working on your body and then a little more time for you to get used to them. I think that’s why the doctors space out visits like that.
