Mood: Shari4
is so happy!  PTU is WORKING!!!!
About Me: Female, North Massapequa - NY, member since Jun 2008
Hi!  I am 43, married for one year and seven months.  Went for my annual in May, 2008, and all of a sudden I have hyperthyroid!  My TSH is 0.01.  I had a RAI Scan, which was normal.  Had a sono, which showed many "subcentimeter" nodules throughout the thyroid bed.Nodule... [More] in in each lobe  approx. 0.75 cms.  Was headed for RAI Ablation, until the great people here on MedHelp urged me to get a 2nd opinion.  Not worried anymore about RAI ablation - at least not for another year!!  Update:  Started taking PTU on September 7, 2008.  Blood tests on September 24, 2008 show that it is WORKING!!  Woo hoo!! [Less]
Interests: hyperthyroidism  
recurrence - I *knew* it but still frustrating

Just a quick note to say hi! Yep I'm doing good though went a little hyper then hypo but got it figured out. Another week or so and hopefully all will be on the right track...conversion was the problem plus a few personal things. I see Debbie247 (sidneythyroid) replied to one of my posts.She better leave me alone and not start the death threats here as they have already been notified about it all. I totally cancelled my account at DS so dont message there..... Keep a track on yr ATDS so you dont go hypo ...let me know how yr going. Glad I am out of DS ....... Hugs and hope all is good with you xxxxx
