Open Hypothyroidism
I'm a 35 year old mom of 2 great kids, my son is 11 my daughter is 8. I was finally diagnosed with Graves in Feb 2000, had the radioactive iodine in April 02. After tapazole and PTU didnt work. I started having noticable symptoms in July 99 when my daughter was 8 months, went for my checkup and told OB about tremors, fatigue, said oh its just because you have a new baby and an older child. My regular dr finally diagnosed me after first thinking it was Mono of all things.
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- It is currently working at 150.
Open Graves' Disease
I was diagnosed with graves/hyperthyroid in March 2000. Had radioactive iodine April 2002.
Treatments
- PTU Somewhat Helpful
- I started on tapazole and was switched to PTU when the tapazole didnt work after a year. PTU didn't work so had the radioactive iodine.
- Radioactive Iodine Working / Worked
- Be really careful after having the rad io, It was about a month after I had the treatment and I started having back pains, achy joints, just hurting all over. About 2 1/2 weeks before my followup I was deathly ill couldn't hardly walk, went to the er and was told it was a good thing I came in when I did or I would have been in a coma in a few days. If you arent feeling right after you have it done before your followup dont hesitate!!! call your doctor. I am now doing well on synthroid.
- Tapazole Working / Worked
- I started on tapazole and then put on PTU, when the tapazole didn't work.
