endo question
Hey Ladies,
This is the first time I'm posting about this issue. I have severe Graves Disease (Hyperactive thryoid). My levels are 50% higher than a normal case of Hyperactive Thryoid. So I just got back a little while ago from my doctors appointment and we are switching my meds over from Tapazole to PTU. Supposedly this is safer and prevents misscarriages & fertility issues. Not that I want to get preganant now, but probably within two years. Here's the 3 option and there goods and bads
Iodine Treatment (no pregnancy for one year, if so cause skull damage to the baby)
Surgery (to remove the thyroid and deal with hypoactive concerns)
PTU (meds that I would take a high dosage before pregnancy and a low doseage during pregnancy and for the first 3 months of birth, but can cause miscarriage and infertility as well as weekly blood tests to check my levels and constantly change my dosage)
I'm taking 7 tapazoles now, hate this stupid thing, but my question is this,
have any of you ladies had thyroid issues? which method would you do?
HELP, kinda freaked out!!! Kerry
