[NIKEGIRL]

Hi. Does anyone know if you can get joint pain or difficulty urinating at ANYTIME during the course of treatment of PTU?

Latest blood

TSH <0.001

T4 12 range 10-22

T3 7.4 range 2.0-6.0

Thanks

I think you should read this link very carefully :

drugs.com/mtm/propylthioura...

and you should also get in touch urgently with your doctor.

The most relevant section - but read it all - is :

Also call your doctor at once if you have:

fever, chills, sore throat, mouth sores, feeling light-headed;

unusual bleeding;

purple or red discoloration of your skin;

skin rash, skin pain or swelling;

pink or dark urine, foamy urine, little or no urination;

shortness of breath, or if you cough up blood; or

new or worsening symptoms of lupus--joint pain, and a skin rash on your cheeks or arms that worsens in sunlight.
