can I get some opinions please?

Hello ev1:

I was diagnosed with Graves in August of '05 and have been taking PTU, I started

out at 200 mg per day and as my Free T4 went down I started to taper it off and

my last set of blood work showed me to be hypo - Free T4 was 7 (normal 10-20)

and my TSH was almost 7 )normal upper range is 5.5) So since I was down to

taking 50 mg per day I have stopped taking it mainly because I feel crappy and I

am putting weight on like crazy and I just can't afford to carry any more weight

with my back trouble. Anyway what I was wondering was if anyone else had gone

this route and if so did your numbers even themselves out or did they go back to

being hyper again?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer me.
