the meds are methimazole (tapazole) The Dr knows. I just had a nerve conductivity test and are due for a bone density test next week.

Sometimes it is unbearable. My dh bought me a Connair chair mat that has three different zones of vibration and heat. Sometimes I sit on it for HOURS, and sometimes it really helps.

I’m wondering what PTU is?

My only treatment for Grave’s has been tamazole. I definately have been having an upset, cranky stomach and heartburn, which I’ve never really suffered from before GD. I’ve found taking the med after a really big breakfast and increasing my fluid intake helps my stomach upset, although not the heartburn.

I have always been anemic, even before being diagnosed with GD, and low in vitamin D and B12

I’ve read in my research that we should avoid using artificial sweeteners, antihistamines, caffeine, nuts and uncooked garlic, broccoli, spinach, caulifleur
