Smile Graves Disease
I too was just diagnosed with Graves. I had an allergic reaction to the tapezole. I just started taking PTU today. Hope everything goes well with your dosage

Actually I was on the propyl for about 2 years with no problems and then switched to methimazole when I was pregnant. I didn't really have any problems with either of them, but I didn't see any drastic results either. And 4 weeks after I had my daughter I received the radioactive iodine treatment, which didn't kill my thyroid off like it was supposed to, but instead my levels have been steady without meds now for the last 4 years.

Hi Kim, I am new member. I have had Graves for 8 yrs. now. In the begining it was HELL for me. I crashed so low into hypo I couldn't get out of bed. It was horrible. They told me one yr. to get my levels balanced. Well, that year turned into 5 yrs. of HELL. Finally after 5 yrs. I am stable on Lavoxathorine 100mg. i think im on... Never heard of the meds you referred to for thryoid disease.

Keep in touch, Like to know how u r doing.
