Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Hi Fay Thank you for the information. In answer to your question, Neo Mercazole is Carbimazole and I'm on 30 mg per day. I have felt better in as much as the shaking has stopped but not sure it is the Neo Mercazole doing it. I am taking Inderal also which slows the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure. I was taking one morning and night, however I stopped taking the morning one as I was a bit like a zombie. LOL I will get time today to check the recent posts about RAI. The doctor I'm going to told me he will be trying to make my thyroid underactive. Is this the norm? I thought that the thyroid was the source of our general well being.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Hi Dawn I live in Mollymook three hours south of Sydney. I must say the most beautiful spot on the south coast. <grin> The whole 'GD' thing has been a total shock to me. As I said in my post I have always been a fit healthy person. The feeling of weakness is so foreign. I have always struggled with my weight but that is all. I am hoping that the medication will help me and that I am not faced with the doctor telling me I need 'RAI'. I will get the opportunity today to read previous posts. I was wondering also does this seem to happen to everyone around a common age? I will probably find this out on some website, but just asking if everyone on this list got it at a similar age?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Hi Fay Thank you for the information. Caffeine......yeks, the only coffee I have is the occasional Soyachino with the girls at the local Coffee House, and I might add because I drink soy milk, I have it very weak, and low caffine tea about 5 cups a day. I do love 'chocolate' but don't have it very often. I have always taken vitamins and I take a range of 'Neways' products including their 'Feroxin' which has 67 trace minerals, plus their multivitamins. The 'Three' product I mentioned before has Kelp, Dandelion Root and Alfalfa. Should I not take that because of the natural iodine in the kelp?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hi Sue, The anti-thyroid drug you're on has the same active ingredient at Tapazole (methimazole), which is used in the United States. I recently heard from the Australian Thyroid Foundation and they mentioned that my book, Graves' Disease, A Practical Guide, is available in your country. Their website is www.thyroidfoundation.com.au/ by the way, and I know they have lots of members with Graves' disease. Your antithyroid drug should effectively reduce your thyroid hormone levels, but it takes about 6 weeks for the maximal effects. And often, the initial dose is too high and must be reduced. Once your thyroid levels are back in the normal range you should start feeling better. Stress is a common trigger for GD, and hitting a kangaroo has to be way up there on the list of potential stressors. Since your immune system, not your thyroid, is at fault in Graves' disease, I wouldn't recommend having RAI. I had it and consider it the most foolish thing I've ever done. Good luck to you, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Sue, I forgot to mention something that helped me tremendously with the shakes and knee weakness: I cut out ALL caffeine, including chocolate (you have to know that chocoholism is genetically transmitted in my family) and started taking calcium, with at least half as much magnesium. I also made sure my multivitamin and all supplements are iodine free. Take care, Fay ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Dear Sue, Hiya - I live in Australia too. I'm in Sydney and there are a handful of other Antipodians on this board which is great. Where abouts are you? I had the eye migraine thing too - most biazrre... I thought that I was going blind when it happened, I just couldn't see anything on the right hand field of my vision. Never got to the bottom of that, but generally accept this was probably thyroid related. (TED = thyroid eye disease). I will be happy to tell you all about what happened to me, but have to run right now. Briefly though, I am heading for remission and now on about 2.5mg of neo-mercazole about every third or fourth day. My wonderful endocrinologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospiatl agrees with me (in oppostion to the general train of thought) that a dose as small as this can keep you in normal ranges re blood test results. I first became ill in March 1999, got diagnonsed with hyperthyroidism in June 2000, and am now feeling really SO much better and have alot of hope for future RECOVERY with thyroid intact. Keep reading the archives if you have the time and the computer access, it definitely helped me from the beginning and continues to be of immense importance to me now.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi Sue, It use to be that GD would show up in women in the 40's for the greater percent, but we are seeing a lot of young women in their 20's and on another board I go to, in their teens...also more men are being diagnosed with GD. To me, the notion it is a *rare* disease affecting only 1/4 of 1% is no longer true. It sure seems like there is a high increase regarding graves...but then there are no national registries to prove this.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hello, I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with Graves Disease in November. At the same time I found out that I was pregnant. Unfortunately, I miscarried at 6 weeks. Because of my pregnancy I was on PTU. However, a few weeks after I miscarried I had an allergic reaction and my doctor took me off. In January I had the radioactive iodine treatment. My doctor has also put me on a beta blocker. Since the RAI and the beta blocker I have had bouts of feeling better and then worse. I have also begun to have problems with my eyes. No bulging, but double vision and some strain. So, now I am hanging out waiting to see if the RAI worked so we can get pregnant again. I know I don't have to tell you all, but this whole thing has been just a big pain in the rear. I keep forgetting to ask my doctor this, but do any of you know the outcomes of the first RAI treatment? How likely is it that people need a second or more? I have gained about 15 pounds and am trying to get it off again. Before I became hyper I was really happy with my weight. I have started running again and have found that it helps my hyper bouts, but hasn't done a thing for my weight. In fact, I continue to gain. That is a little frustrating. I look forward to participating in the group. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
