I'm finally becoming more stable. The only time I have hand tremors is when I'm about to start my monthly cycle.
We went on our Summer vacation and I did very very well! I was even able to have a pedicure because my toenails finally grew back! Yeah!
I admit that taking PTU 3x's a day plus the Beta-Blockers have become tiresome, but it's all worth it when you're feeling better.
I hope I'm able to get off the Beta-Blockers soon!
Here is a picture of my daughter and I on our Disney trip.

My FT4 is now back in it's normal range. I thought I wasn't doing well, because my antibodies were still high. Now I know they will always remain high because of the auto-immune disease. My Endocronolgist thinks we should stay with the PTU 150mg/ 50 mg 3x's a day and believes I'll level off even more as time progresses. He said it was my choice and my choice alone on how I wanted to treat this and no one should tell me what I should do, hence my primary pushing for RAI. My Endo is the specialist so I'll be listening to him. Here is to another 3 months and Hope for feeling better.
