Welcome. Your situation sounds similar to mine as
far as when your illness started. I
started having symptoms of Graves’ when my daughter
was 7-8 months old. I did not and still do not
have a goiter though (6 months later). I am on Tapazole
(going in
to see my endo today for the first time since on it).
Why wouldn’t your job enable you to try anti-
thyroid meds??? I am trying to avoid the radio
active iodine treatment if possible. It is safe,
but I don’t like the idea that I would be radio
active for any length of time.
What other symptoms have you had besides the goiter?
I know how hard it is to have a small child and
deal with this illness. It just plain sucks!
Feel free to discuss this with me and welcome.
Kristy
