So sorry to hear your experiencing this! I was on Methimazole for a year and a half before I too had an allergic reaction! I ended up opting for the TT as I was concerned of a reaction with the RAI or not putting it into total remission. My levels were not completely stable and they were able to support me with my decision. Keep researching and go with what feels like the right choice for you! Thyroids are tricky….

Thank you epeets for sharing your experience. I have scheduled appointments with two, possibly three surgeons. Crossing my fingers they will be supportive with my decision.

I’m overwhelmed with the number of tests, blood draws, and appointments! And I’m so incredibly tired to keep track and keep up with all of them!

Thank you, Kimberly! You are an amazing resource and I am thankful for all your sound advice.

I saw my Endo yesterday and I told her flat out that my preferred choice for a long term fix is TT. She’s hesitant about it and mentioned all the scary stuff. I have access to top-notch medical care(thankfully!) so I will see if I could get an appointment with an Endocrine Surgeon, hopefully soon to discuss my options. I also have an appointment with a Neuro-ophthalmologist on the 26th and an Uptake Scan on Monday. Then we weigh our options. Hopefully PTU works for me to buy time before TT/RAI.

Thanks for letting me vent and clarifying all my questions.

Sending warm healing vibes to you all!
