      I was so sorry to read about your lisinopril cough. How it happens to some right away, and not others at all, is truly a mystery. I do hope you have better luck on your next med. There are plenty of them out there and one is sure to work for you.

    • Close Graves' Disease

      I was diagnosed with Graves Disease Recently May 2007 I recently had Radioactive Iodine treatment for it. I would like to speak with others who are in the same predicament.

      Treatments

      Radioactive Iodine Working / Worked
      My Goiter has Shrunk tremendously and I am hoping to have some normalcy back in my life.
      Atenolol Working / Worked
      It keeps my Heart Rate Stable. It makes me Dizzy but its Tolerable.
      HCT Working / Worked
      My BP is Normal. This is a Great Medication so far with zero Adverse reactions.
    • Close Hyperthyroidism

      I was first diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and then Graves Disease

      Treatments

      Atenolol Somewhat Helpful
      I am no longer on Atenolol, Now that I am Hypothyroid. I am on Synthroid for my HYPOTHYROIDISM
      Radioactive Iodine Working / Worked
      had it on June 18th, 2007, have to have a blood test on July 18th, to check my levels. My goiter has shrunk tremendously, but I still feel so tired and not energetic.
    • Open Hypothyroidism

      THIS IS THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM MY ENDO TODAY AUGUST 21, 2007 Dear Anisa, Your TSH = 85.9 (normal 0.2 - 5.5) which tells me you need thyroid hormone. There is absolutely no problem with taking hydrochlorothiazide and levothyroxine together. Many people take both drugs. Take care, Susan Stevens, M.D. Endocrinology Vallejo

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      I was started on synthroid august 21st 2007 0.1 which is 100mg and this month of october I had a blood test only to show my TSH was 0.1 meaning the synthroid dose was too high so they lowered it to .75mg, I just started it on October 11th, 2007 I will have another blood test on November 19th, 2007 to see if this dose is ok for me. I havent had any side effects of synthroid because Remember Synthroid is not a medication, just a replacement of hormones your body no longer makes enough of.
