Re: TSI Results In - For Elaine

[Guest guest]

Hello, Elaine

You say there are a lot of studies out there, but I have not been

able to locate any information on what happens after the initial

block and replace with 50 micrograms of thyroxine. When one is

trying to achieve remission without the B&R regimen, the dose of

antithyroid medication goes down as lab results improve. With B&R,

does one just continue on with the 30 mg of methimazole and 50

micrograms of thyroxine indefinitely?

Could you, please, point me in the right direction to get more

information?

Thank you.

Elaine,

Thank you for the research information.

It seems you answered the question, though, when you told me that I

would continue to take the 30 mg methimazole and take Synthroid, then

adjustments made according to lab tests.

I won't know if my GP will be willing to go along with an experiment

with block and replace until I see him in mid-January.

I will let you know, after Christmas, if I would like additional

URL's about B&R.

54 years old. Diagnosed 8-20-02, taking 30 mg methimazole, 120 to 180

mg of Inderal.
