January 2014/ Feb 2014
I recently had an updated Thyroid Panel Test . Before my recent Thyroid Panel I had stopped taking my PTU medicine. I was off of the PTU for 4 months. Test Results from my Jan 23, 2014 Thyroid Panel:
T 4 level was a 25.
This is up from my previous 06/18/2013 Thyroid Panel. Results from that test show my T-4 is a 12.5.
My T-4 has doubled. I am having all of the normal hyperthyroid symptoms. High Blood Pressure, Nervous, Anxiety, Skin Rash, I could go on and on.
My doctor has placed me on Propranolol which is generic for Inderal. This is a beta-blocker and
for anxiety. This is doing wonders for me. I love it. I am calm and feeling almost no heart palpitations.
I am also on Methimazole (also known as Tapazole or Thiamazole or MMI).
These 2 drug combinations have seemed to help me a lot.
The goiter in my neck is still here however with just being on this medication a little over a week I can tell that swallowing is easier.
Currently I am juicing, eating raw organic foods.
I am trying to rest as much as possible, no exercise or stress.
I am going back to my doctor at the end of Feb or beginning of March for another Thyroid Panel.
Keeping my fingers crossed that my T-4 will be lower than 25.
