Med help is a good sight at least it helps to know that I am not alone out here, and that we do have each other. Thankyou and God bless you all.
Woohhhhh!
Who told you it takes 10 weeks for Methimazole to work????
I was going from hyper to hypo in 2 weeks flat!
While the Methimazole is blocking the thyroid, you probably will GAIN the weight.
I gained 16kgs prior to RAI being on Neomercazole (trade name for Methimazole).
If you have the aching joints and muscles, you need a decrease but get your levels done first.
I was having bloods done every 2 weeks because of the Methimazole working so fast on me.
