    • Close Hyperthyroidism

      I have not been feeling to well for over a year now, and have been diagnosed with Grave's Disease & Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I also have a goiter, that has increased in size over the last 4 months, it make's my neck hurt!. I am half way in shock over all the things that I have gone thru, and very nervous about what's to come. I just found this out 03/13/2008. I was put on propranolol for my heart palpitations. I just don't know what in the world to expect next, this has been a real Nightmare.

      Treatments

      Methimazole Too Soon to Tell
      The Dr. said he need's to check my blood and check the size of my goiter in 30 day's to see if it has shrunk down any, or he is going to have it removed, no radioactive iodine treatment.
