Thank you all. Very helpful comments.

For methimazole, is the instruction usually to take all tablets in on sitting on separate (morning, afternoon, and nighttime)?

Thanks Kimberly.

I was still hyper with the alternating days. The doctor was surprised that the tiny tweak affected my so greatly since I was hypo with 15mg. I may bring up the pill cutting technique in the next visit.

For the block and replace, how is the correct dosage found? Is it also trial and error? This concerns me because this may affect the eyes.

Thanks again!

Liz, do you recall your IV dosing?

Liz, thank you so much for your comments.

You mentioned that the IV steroids, when stopped, made eye irritation, retraction, and diplopia to increase. Is this increased symptoms relative to when you were on steroids or are you saying that the IV steroids made those symptoms even worse than you had begun steroids? Thanks again.
