Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 An acquaintance called me, knowing I have Graves. Her endocrinologist suspects her hyperthyroidism is just postpartum, based on her thyroid scan and put her on beta-blockers for the next six weeks.. How soon do they work? Her tremors really disturb her, along with other symptoms. Having gone straight to Tapazole I'm not familiar with how beta-blockers work. Also, any other suggestions on what she might do to feel better? I already told her to stay away from caffeine and iodine and make sure she's taking iodine-free supplements. And, needless to say, after the six week period he recommends radioactive iodine. Her education has begun. Thanks in advance for any advice, Fay Young ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
