I am.. I really like my new doc. Unfortunately he doesn’t deal with Lupus so now I will need to see him 96 miles away and a rheumatologist 50 miles away in the other directions ” title=”Sad” /> I also have a referral in to test eye pressure.. I think my husband is at his wits end with all these diagnosis not sure if he could handle another ” title=”Sad” />(((((.

I’d love to know the answer too. I won’t be having RAI but we’re going to TTC after I get my levels down as well ” title=”Very Happy” />

Hello,
I gained 113 lbs with my pregnancy was diagnosed with Graves 6 months after I had my daughter so not sure exactly when I got it and I’m 60 lbs above my pre-pregnancy still. It is literally impossible for me to lose weight even with exercising and a healthy diet. I am also on Methimazole and Propranolol. I hope you get to feeling better soon and I’m sorry I can’t offer encouraging advice but my doctor doesn’t see any change in the future either ” title=”Sad” />

I didn’t ask about a natural way although I do prefer natural remedies I have read up and saw that this won’t just go away on it’s own. I’m all for the drugs lol.

Oh goodness, I guess I should have stated it this way. I am going to stop taking Methimazole after my doctor puts me on PTU . I don’t want to lose the 2 wks I’ve been controlling my thyroid by not taking it. I made an appt. for tomorrow so hopefully he can change my medicine then.

What upset me about him not telling me to not exercise is I wasn’t on Methimazole yet when I started going there and he knew I worked out pretty hard each week.

So I have read from ya’ll and in many other posts here that you weren’t allowed to exercise. My endo hadn’t said anything to me about it, so I decided to call and ask. He told me once I had taken propranolol for a few wks that I could do whatever I wanted. It worried me for two reasons. 1) He knew I did heavy workouts every week ( They are mommy n me workouts but I have a 22 lb baby lol) 2) He hadn’t even bothered to tell me to wait before I called and asked. When I told him I was having severe chest pain from the methimazole he told me that I could move my blood test up if I wanted. I am going to stop taking the Methimazole as just last night I broke out in hives and rashes and almost clawed my skin off.
