Hi everybody, I'm a 23 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with Grave's disease. I am starting Methimazole and Propranolol for treatment. I am curious to know if any of you have used these, and how effective were they at treating your symptoms? (My symptoms are: fatigue, tachycardia, palpitations, ^ systolic BP, shortness of breath, muscle twitches, eye twitches, heat intolerance, and restlessness.) Also, did starting Methimazole make you gain weight? I am really terrified about gaining a lot weight lol because I just lost 24 lbs and I don't want it back, ha!
I am anxious to start feeling better soon. I have only had active Grave's for roughly 4 mos or so, but it has really put a damper on my housework and schoolwork. I find that I have little motivation to do anything because I always have very little energy! Please someone send me some encouragement about Methimazole :) Thanks!
