    For starts, Is anyone having trouble logging on? I have to try two or three times before I’m logged in. Maybe it has something to do with the construction the site is under.

    Congratulations on your remission and hopefully goodbye to GD for you. That’s great news and the kind of testimony I want to read more often.

    Has anyone had to take a leave from work in the intial stages? Cause I’m feeling bummed.

    if you haven’t noticed I’ve been all over this board and loving it! Love it! Love it! Love it!
    As a result of many doctor’s appointments I’ve missed several classes and notes, so now I’m playing catch up, which is proving to be difficult, because I’m always tired. I may be foolish but I am determined to finish school only because this is my last semester before I receive a BS in accounting. One eye, one leg, I will only take off if deemed neccessary.
    I leave from school and go straight to work. I have 14 hr days 3x a week. As mentioned I have a six year old son and recently miscarried while being diagnosed with GD. I was kind of surprised my endo didn’t intially write me out from work. When asked, he stated, "you know your income will decrease and you have to keep your job nowadays". So now I’m wondering if he’s a physician or a social worker. I’ve been dedicated to my job going on 11 years. I work for a freight company ("when it absolutely, positively has to be there company") and handle cash and other administrative duties and it’s not helping at work or school that I can hardly see clearly and I’m always feeling anxious. :shock: I also have kerataconis.
    The difference between school and work is that I am being held accountable for an abundance of errors recently in a short period of time. I’m just surpised at my endo’s reaction, and then he went on to say, "have them send me the paperwork". That’s not the procedure and he knows that, nor was his response’s professional. I’m just surprised I wasn’t given time to adjust or at least until I see the optomologist who specializes in GD on Mar. 10. "I wanna be normal again"! I start tapazole today. I regret having to take medication, but I’m not ready for RAI. Is it lazy of me to want some time off to deal with MY priorities? <img decoding=:” title=”Question” /> I definately need a second opinion. i’m a mess. Help!

    Thank! That’s what I thought. If there’s a strong possibility that you may become hypo anyway, why not see if GD will go into remission? My endo made me feel like I should just get RAI and be done with it. Should I be concerned with "Thyroid Storm" if I’m on the ATD’s?

    So are you saying that if your going to die it will be within the first year? My response from medical professionals has been so passive like, "oh, just treat it and be done with it"!

    So is 2omg of tapazole, twice a day about what you start with when you start treatment?
