Re: Where Is Info Re: PTU helping TED more than Tap?

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb-

I seem to remember that PTU suppresses immune response more than Tapazole.

I think that's the reason Jody decided to take PTU when she developed TED.

If she doesn't respond to your post, look back in the archives, get her

address (it'll pop up in the text when you hit reply), and ask her about it.

I know she'll want to help you.

Take care,

It seems to me that my eyes are getting worse since I began the Tap,

compared to the way they were on the PTU I was taking before.
