Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hi Jemima, An additional option is surgery, which seems to have a gentler effect on the body than radiation. Others will chime in to really discuss the pros and cons--also, after a few weeks on 400 mg PTU your husband's levels should drop and he'll need to start decreasing the dose, based on his symptoms and blood tests. You might also post at the Graves' group at Mediboard.com to reach Simon from the UK. He had a partial thryodiectomy in the past. besy woshes, or iiaJi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
