      Glad to hear that your doing better. It's amazing how these TSH and T4 levels can have such an effect on how one feels! I'm doing much better too. I got bad my blood test results and was down to TSH of 3.5 and T4 of 1.4! I feel much better. My left eye is still bothering me a little, but not bad. I hope you can reach ideal levels soon too! Let me know how it goes at your Dr. appmt. :)

      Hi Raquel. Sounds like thinks are going good! I'm so happy for you. I know it can be a challenge to keep eveyone occupied during the summer, especially when you don't feel 100%. :)

      Methimazole Working / Worked
      It worked for a while, Dr. lowered dose thyroid was still too hypo took me off then the thyroid kicked into gear again and became hyper again. I am going to see the endrogonologist Apr 11. Thinking of doing RAI a little concerned though whether I should or not. Oh, my hair is also falling out and until my thyroid/meds are level it won't stop falling out. I hope I'm not bald by then.
