Well, unless my husband’s company makes him an offer he can’t refuse
to get us to move to Ohio, he is taking a different job in Pueblo,CO and
we’ll be moving there in about two months. Anyone know any NICE, COMPASSIONATE
and CONSERVATIVE Endos out there? Colorado Springs & Pueblo area!
Joe, if you’re out there, my last try at “monkeying” around with my PTU
dosage struck out. On the 10th day of taking 3 one day, 2 for 2 days, I
went horribly hyper. Insominia. In the bathroom WAY too much. Irritable.
I didn’t get the anxiety like I used to, but I was NOT a nice person. It took
about a week of taking 3 a day to get myself feeling normal again. It
has something to do with having a rapid buildup of free T3 according to my doctor.
I can actually “feel” when my body/mind slip back into normal, like putting on
those favorite beat-up jeans.
Right now, if my doctors decide my dosage should be decreased they are
going to have to do something VERY creative to make me go lower (and
higher the National Guard to make me do it)!
About PTU, taking it with milk does seem to wash down the bitterness.
I’ve gotten to where instead of hating the PTU I think it’s the elixir
of sanity! (esp. after trying to take a lower dosage). I’d rather suffer
the bitter aftertaste than feel that weird, hyped-out-not-my-self-surreality
that happens when I go without it.
