Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi everyone, This recent series of posts has pointed to me the fact that we need to collectively work on a mission statement, something that can be posted on the home site and that we are all in agreement defines the purpose of this group. Someone recently posted that we should be calling ourselves the " anti RAI group " instead of Graves support. She had a point, perhaps! So, I'm asking for other opinions on my opinion here--is this just wheel-spinning on my part (don't be afraid to tell me if it is!) or do we need to do this work? Thanks for listening, Terry dx end of '94. Refused RAI when it was presented as " the " option to " cure me " , when I knew little about GD--but I was afraid of radiation. Mother had thyroid cancer before my birth. Terrified of being hypo (hypo, psychotic mother); my natural state is maybe a tad hyper. On ATD's pretty much the whole time since '95, after trying herbal meds only for the first 8 months or so. Now taking about 2.5 -3.75 mg. a day of Tap, in 2-3 doses, depending on symptoms de jour. Last labs showed very slightly hyper, when I was taking about 2 mg. a day only. Found this group when I was confused and befuddled. Value it immensely. Started the symptom list and to 20 reasons lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
