My current labs from late last week:

Ft3 5.7 pg/ml (range 2.3 -4.2)
Ft4 1.3 ng/dl (range 0.9 -1.

Three weeks ago my Ft3 was over 20 and Ft4 was 5.8! There’s no doubt the methimazole is working, the question is can I handle the itching and hives for much longer.

Thanks, everyone. I’ve definitely come to the right place.

Yes, the doctor is the one who told me that methimazole is a sulfa-drug! Also the pharmacist told me the same thing. I’ve read online and here that it is not. So much conflicting info out there!

I AM allergic to sulfites, for sure. And I was diagnosed with a sulfa drug allergy during an ER visit formy sulfite allergy. Again, it’s all so confusing.

Due for an uptake scan this week,and terrified of that, too. Is it bad? I might cancel–very scared of radiation!

Have a secod opinion appt. Friday with an endo I found on this website. Wish me luck–he has GREAT ratings. I didn’t like the endo Friday. He was bossy, didn’t listen, and just talked right over me.
