Shirley – this is all great news – thanks so much!!! ” title=”Smile” /> I know in the long-run this is the best, and I’ve thought about it and weight the pros and cons for a while… it’s the best decision, it’s just like making the climb to the top of the rollercoaster…

Wow! Thanks so much for your stories!! They do make me feel a lot better. It would seem that as long as the TSH is "normal" regardless of the type of meds you’re on (or not on) you have a good sporting chance at a little one. That really makes me feel better! AGAIN, thanks so much ” title=”Very Happy” />

As far as PTU – get yourself a easy swallow spray or some cough drops as they will leave a horrible sour taste in your throat for at least an hour after taking them (of course I am on 2 tablets 2x daily) and they’ve given me indigestion and heartburn something wicked and I find since I’ve been on them I’ve been super exhausted, just drained and have some eye burning and pain…but then those symptoms may be from the GD itself and not the drugs, course I didn’t feel this way untreated. Hopefully you’ll have better luck. Let the doc know if you get a rash, it’s pretty common I’m told.

Thanks so much Kimberly! I’m hoping to get some responses and share some experiences as well!

Like I said, when I was first DXed I couldn’t seem to find any info and what I did find were just statistics and Dr. opinion. Now with the help of your board and a few like it, we have access tp people who are traveling down the same old bumpy road to share stories with!
