Sorry you are so worried. I hope you get scan result soon. What is T3 toxicosis? How does it affect you? get detected? Obvs related to thyroid, and I could look it up. Like you,

I have aih/pbc overlap type thing, hashi's, and other things. I worry about cytotoxics too. How I view it is that, due to all the monitoring (bloods, scans, etc) problems if they do arise will be picked up promptly. I've had to give up on azathioprine due to bad reactions and worry about next step - maybe mercaptopurine, like you.

I am doing this for my children, as I love being with them (my new mantra!!).
