AFIB and spike in other symptoms after recent infections
More recently I have been on 2.5mg
methimazole
and for a few months things were stable, however after infections in recent months and a later a surgery, my symptoms seem to be spiking very aggressively. Is it possible that few infections have flared up my graves or thyroid again?

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
I started on
Methimazole
almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled. The surgeon at MGH has recommended total thyroidectomy. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year.

‘They thought I had cancer’: painkiller banned in UK linked to Britons’ deaths in Spain
Carbimazole converts very quickly to
methimazole
in the body so the side effects and adverse reactions are almost identical. Carbimazole and
methimazole
can [i]both[/i] cause agranulocytosis but this is a known and recognised adverse reaction.

recent labs hypo?
After December 28 labs on new years I eliminated
methimazole
for 3 days then resumed 5mg daily for 4 days then went to 10mg daily at the advice of my doctor. I felt pretty good for about 2 weeks until this week. I am now feeling achy and extra tired again.

Blood results - Any Advice?
Was on
methimazole
and then taken off. I was taken off meds for about 6-12 months then went hypothyroid. Was diagnosed a couple of years ago with Hashimoto's. Now I am on Synthroid 0.112 mg (112 mcg) and skip one dose every other Friday (as recommended by my previous endocrinologist).

Hand and foot numbness
My graves was under control but when I thought I may have covid my doctor said to quadruple my dose of
methimazole
for a week. That was little over a month ago and wondering if this might be related to my hand and foot issues. Anyone have similar symptoms with hypothyroidism?

Am I euthyroid?
I was well controlled by
Methimazole
. Because you have to stay 6 feet away from other living things and undergo treatment at your own home, I didn't want to try RAI until my cat received the exact same diagnosis. He underwent RAI on 08/30/2021 and I did it the following day.

Graves, low TSH low hormones
Hi all, I was hyperthyroid in 2003 treated with thiamazole, Hashimoto's hypothyroid in 2015, in 2018 TSI antibodies went up again, but I was left untreated for neither one thing nor the other. Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

Berberine godsend
I went from 20 mg
methimazole
to 10 mg by taking 1400 mg berberine with 200 mg cinnamon daily. Now I take 933 mg berberine and 66.66 mg cinnamon daily. I get my levels checked in a month to see if I need to bring down berberine or
methimazole
again. I'm amazed how fast and how well it worked.

Biotin and FT4/FT3 testing
We have seen discussions about the effect of biotin on thyroid tests (TSH, FT4 and FT3). This paper has the singular advantage of concentrating on the results for a single person in particular circumstances. That means, we see the specific effects of the biotin on one assay but not on another. Very

Graves' Disease with severe Afib
After taking
Methimazole
, did anyone go into hypothyroid state and not be able to get back to euthyroid state? I'm scared to take the
Methimazole
. I don't like being on the heart meds either as I have always had faith in plant and food medicine (I don't even take Advil).

Severe Acid Reflux and Thyroidectomy
I am allergic to both
Methimazole
and PTU and will eventually have to have a TT. Has anyone else gone through something similar? I am so scared about having this surgery on top of the reflux symptoms. Thank you🙏
