Off Tapazole and low thyroid?

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I just recently went off of my Tapazole completely going from .25

mg down to .125 and then to nothing because of symptoms of

low thyroid. I especially get lots of headaches. The problem is

that I still feel low and I haven't taken any Tapazole since last

Monday night (about 5 days).

My endocrinologist has told me that some people with Graves

" burn out " their thyroids and go permanently hypo. Any

suggestions on what to do besides getting a blood test and

tallking to my doctor? Has anyone else had this experience or

know of anyone who has? I guess it's too early to know if the

hypo is more than a temporary thing, but I wonder...

thanks,

Lois
