So I never did need the propranolol after all…that was great. Since March 2011 I have had quite the Graves adventure. Initially on 20mg 3xdaily for a little to long before mess were properly adjusted downward, ending up overtly Hypo for a couple of months, off the ATDs for a while before returning Hyper in Nov 2011. Always had problems with the methimazole, it just did not like me.
Have RAI scheduled in 2 weeks…we will see where that goes.
My wife and I are owner/operators of a small diner and stress and heat are daily companions. I am not sure under those circumstances how likely it was to achieve remission.
