Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hello everyone, My name is Crystal,I`m 55 and I live in Canada.I was diagnosed with Graves Disease,Monday Oct-06-03. I don`t have coppies of my blood test results but I just called and asked for them and it appears that I can get them. My Endo perscribed PTU.. 150 mg 3X per day (7am,3pm,11pm) and a Beta Blocker 2X per day(7am,7pm). I had a thyroid scan Oct 7th,then started taking the PTU. There is a standing order for blood tests so I think that I can get that done any time I like but my next appointment with the doctor isn`t for 4 months unless there is a shift in the blood work or if I develope a side effect to the PTUs,I suppose. I don`t know.....I`m confused! How often should I have the blood tests done? I`m so greatful you are here. No one that I know has this disease and I have nobody else to talk to about it.My husband is very supportive but it doesn`t seem to be enough. Emotions are running higher than usual and I`m a bit down, at the moment. Thanks, Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
