I can’t believe how many posts and unique experiences all of you had. Not to mention all of the advise. I am also Type A and feel like I am awful because I can’t do it all. My endo on weds said he overshot the mark with me and increased my PTU this time instead of reducing. I have a question – how long do I fiddle with the meds before it is time to think about RAI or thyroid surgery. I would rather not do the RAI since I want to have a baby and I have heard that you can’t until 1 year after treatment. Is this true? Thanks again. Jill

Thank you so much Ski. I know you are right! I see my endo next Weds for another blood donation I feel better just knowing someone out there understands. I was thinking about getting my hair cut – maybe that would give me a boost! Have a great weekend – your help is invaluable.

in reply to: thyroid illnesses and diet coke #1075436

I was diagnosed in May. My husband had been nagging my to quick diet coke and asparatame for months before. He thought that I could have made my body toxic with all of the diet stuff. I thought he was crazy but also thought it wouldn’t hurt. I am on PTU and metaprolol so those drugs are helping. I will say that my severe stomach issues cleared up 1 mnth after stopping diet coke and comes back right away if I sneak one behind hubby’s back. I don’t know if there is a connection – no scientific proof – but I am not sure that now I don’t disagree that maybe dc caused my Graves. good luck
