At Last

[purple64]

Had an endo appointment yesterday and he admitted that research into Graves' disease is so under funded that there is very little that is known about it. Pleased that his outlook is to continue with medication rather than drastic measures. Plus I actually saw the same dr as last time so that was a bonus. So outcome of appointment keep taking the pills and see you in 6 months 😂

Hi there! What are you taking? How is it working for you?

[purple64 in reply to Greekchick]

Hi I take 5 mg of Carbimazole at the moment. Apparently levels are ok but antibodies are still high but he thinks I will go into remission eventually.

[Greekchick in reply to purple64]

I’m so glad to hear that the carbimazole is working for you. I was in remission a long time without Tapazole - and then on Tapazole for 2 years - and then became resistant.

Wishing you remission and sending good thoughts!

Out of curiosity do you get shooting pains in hands and feet🤔

[Greekchick in reply to purple64]

Hi there,

No, I did not - when do these happen? Is it when you take meds or other times?

[purple64 in reply to Greekchick]

No it's not related to meds it's random.

[Greekchick in reply to purple64]

🤔 not sure then. Wish I could be more help. Check with doctor - sometimes that can be related to spinal issues (disk compression at a particular level of spine) - but I am not a doctor - so it’s jut based on my own back issues. Worth asking about though. All the best.

Thank you. There are so many bizarre symptoms but will get it checked out next time I see my doctor.
