Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi, I was diagnosed with graves about 1 1/2 years ago and went on medication (Tapazole) The meds worked fine and my levels were normal so my doc had me go off for a short period of time. The levels went back up so he put me back on the tapazole ( a very low dose) and my levels came back down. I was feeling great. He had me try going off again and this time my THS is coming down. My hair is thinning but I have no other symptoms as yet. He says that he would recommend RAI if my symptoms return and my T3 & T4 levels change. I'm very leary about the RAI and am trying to read all the information I can before deciding what to do. I would like to go back on the meds because they worked so well but am not sure what the long term effects of those are. If anyone has any info or suggestions on where to get more info I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
