Hi Jeannette! Just got off the phone with my endo, after two weeks on PTU and after having told him very clearly that I wanted to try the anti-thyroid drugs first, before considering RAI. He asked me, “What have you decided to do about your thyroid?” as if I had never taken a stance!! Well, I’m feeling a little more energetic and a little mor positive and a little less fearful and so I’ll continue taking the foul-tasing pills and doing anything else I can to improve my chances of remission. I’d be interested in hearing how and why the peace came about. I’m afraid I’m still in the pissed-off stage sometimes. As in, “How can this happen to me when I take such care to stay healthy?” Ah well, I’m learning patience! Thanks for another investment, a few cents worth helps alot! Sharon
