Congratulations Becky! Be sure and let me know if your address changes so that any further survey can put your progress ( that is what you are going to have!) in the data. Jeannette

After visiting with my endo on Thursday,
I am officially in remission (for how long is
anyone’s guess). I’m going to enjoy this as
long as it lasts. I have always been a very
positive person, so I’m going to live as if the
remission will be forever.

With that thought, I’ll be leaving the board
until such time as I am again in need of the
support and info that you’ll have provided.

Before I go, I want to give you’ll a summary
of my care. I was diagnosed in April and put
on 5 mg Tapazole. I responded very well,
in fact, I went hypo in Sept. At that time I
had .05 Synthroid added to the daily dose of
Tapazole. On Nov 26 I stopped both meds.

I had blood work done on Dec 10 and on
Thursday the endo says that everything is
within normal ranges and I have no symptoms
other than dry, gritty eyes.

I’m to have labs in April unless the GD flares
up before then.

I will be going out of town tomorrow, but I’ll
monitor the board tonight to see if any of you
have questions or comments.

I am happy to hear of your remission and will pray it continues. We will
be here if you need us, know that. The gritty, dry eyes is a symptom and
hope you will get a good baseline eye exam done by a qualified opthomologist.
Keep that positive attitude, gal! And, war on.

Hugs, JAN

ps. feel free to e-mail us from time to time on how you are doing.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Becky,

Congratulations! I hope that you will drop by the board periodically to give us occasional posts that you are still remitting. (I know that LynnthePB experienced a short remission and then went back full hyper 6 mos or so later, therefore monthly updates would be cool) – I don’t mean to be a downer… It would just be helpful if you continue to update us and all the newbies to give them HOPE.

Hope is a very important thing to have. It is helpful to all of us to see our buddies doing well and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel – so don’t abandon us just yet! You may find that you don’t need much from us, but I’m sure there is plenty you can GIVE by way of encouragement. After all, it is more blessed to give than to receive!

it is so wonderful to hear your good news – may you have a full, complete and continuous remission!

God bless you,
Glynis
