Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi all, I am desperately trying to take charge of my health care in relationship to my Graves. This week I wrote a couple of posts that were apparently too rambly and long since no one wrote any opinions or words of wisdom in response. I'll try to cut right to Is it possible for your body to become dependant on ATDs? In other words, can your body become dependant on the ATDs to keep your levels normal? Has this happened to anyone? If your levels of thyroid hormones are only slightly above normal and your body maintains them at that level consistently should you be put on ATDs? Or, should you just be monitored closely and kept medications if possible? Now I need to get my endo to listen to me. She won't run FT3 anymore, she won't run antibody tests and she only has me go for labs before an appointment. I was going to write a letter stating what I expect in my care, too over the top? in MA USA Graves since March 1997 Currently on 2 PTU tablets per day Was in remission from 2000-2003 Will not undergo RAI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
