    Thank you Kimberly and Rasberry. Yes, my white cell count was fine a week after stopping the medication. I found one endo that is going to get me in later this week! This is just so frustrating! Thank you so much.

    Thank you. I did have both the uptake and the ultrasound. Uptake shows “hot” activity in both areas of thyroid. Ultrasound shows nodules in both sides of thyroid as well. I did not test positive for the graves antibody.

    Thank you for your response. I only took the beta blocker for a week in early Nov. I am getting hard copies of my labs and will check! The have diagnosed a toxic multinodular goiter that has caused the hyperthyroid. When I had blood tests three weeks in a row in Nov., two weeks were low and one week was normal but now they have said they will only testing once every two months. They explained these results (low and normal so close to each other) could be due to the nodules producing more hormone at certain times. I guess that is why this is frustrating now because my lab could be normal at the time I want but I could be having the symptoms because I could be very low inbetween lab results.

    Thank you again for your response. I do appreciate it! .

    Thank you so much. I did see the doctor right before I posted this and she is not concerned about the sore throat at all and believes it must be related to something else. She said to stop taking the tapazole and get blood tests in seven days so I guess what is what I will do! I stopped taking it Tues. However, my heart rate is rapid – 100 – 108 now since I stopped taking it. I put in a call to the Dr. to see if my heart rate could increase so quickly. This was a major symptom that alerted me to my hyperthyroid. I have not heard back yet.

    Hi, thank you for responding so quickly. Right now, Im taking 2.5 mg of Methimazole and 10mg of Atenolol. Thank you for the information. Im planning to see my endocrinologist this Friday. Ill ask her more questions about doing the second opinion. Also, Im planning to see my primary doctor next week and I will ask her for advice or send me to different endocrinologist.

    Thanks!

    Hi there. I was wondering if your sore throat ever went away. I havea hyperthyroid and am on 7.5 mg of tapazole. My throat is now sore every day. I wondered if anyone else had the same symptoms.

    Thank you!
