    Any information would be wonderful! I’m having surgery next week. I’m not so worried about the scar. I think the scar is a badge of honnor. :D

    Thanks Kimberly! I talked to the Dr. this morning and he is not prescribing the potassium iodide. Thanks everyone for your knowledge! Now just waiting…I’m not real good at that! :)

    Thank you Shirley & Debbie! You have comforted me during this waiting period. Only you can understand this journey.

    Well, I received a call from the surgeon and my FT3 is 3.2 (normal = 2-4) and my FT4 is 0.77 (normal = 0.82 low end). The dr. has reduced the Methimazole for maintenance. Scheduled TT ob 6-8-12. :)

    Thank you for your words…I am just anxeous to have the proceedure. Once I make a decision it is like I cannot move this along fast enough. I will have to ask about the potassium iodide. Can I take this with TED?

    I don’t think they will refuse you. You must see a dr. I don’t think you have to see a specialist. Please just see someone!

    These are wonderful articles. Thank you Kimberly.

    I totally understand your concern about atention span. I have a very fast paced job and have found that I have to remind myself to focus on the task at hand. I make lists and stick to them. I wish you the best!
