now a man with Graves

Some day indeed.

Best you slow down and continue figured all this out. Sounds like they are

playing fast and loose with your money and health.

I just received this today, and came back here to share it with you.

Funny... all the symptoms listed in this article are also thyroid symptoms.

Have you printed out and reviewed the REAL list of hyper and hypo symptoms

we have on our home page ?

It is worthy of printing, and review over time, as the subject is one many

are confused over often.

Even at my experience level the list helps, because when my levels are not

correct, my 'Forgetter' tends to have a firmer grip on me. :-)

No, you do NOT want a scan !

The iodine can easily cause more problems for you, and the eyes have the

track record of being one item sometimes damaged by the scan. Do NOT allow

them to hold you hostage and refuse meds until they get their $1,700 out of

your insurance co. for a useless scan, with many false results, and a real

possibility of causing harm.

Now the first thing you want is the lab results.

Do not take a single Tapazole until you see these copies of your labs.

You have no way of knowing what you have for sure, and if proper base line

readings on WBC and a liver panel were done . Please get these. Walk in and

have them make a copy and hand it to you.

It is your legal right and very important.

The paper will have each test done, and the normal level for THAT lab. Many

labs have different normals.

IF proper labs have not been done for the baseline readings, you could have

a heap big problem on your hands in the next few months . They often only do

these tests AFTER meds are started... they are off ( by Graves' itself ) and

the patient is then told the pills are doing this, the Tapazole prescription

is refused and RAI is supposedly your only choice left.

This is a darn lie.

You will doubt my word right now, but stick with us, and you will see this

dirty trick/ ignorance ? played out over and over.
