Definitely Allergic :(

Why do allergic reactions always start for me on Friday night?  It was not a fun weekend and very hard to make "Daddy day" special for my husband (who is an awesome, super supportive, super involved dad)

I was on the meds for Graves for 1 week - and the allergic reaction started.  Luckily it isn't as bad this time, but it still is not fun.

Spoke to the doc - I will just stay on the beta blocker until September and decide then if it makes sense to get the surgery or if my body somehow miraculously heals itself..

Let's hope for the best..

Surgery Cancelled...now what?

I went to the endocrinologist today and we talked thru all the options.  She said she is OK with giving a low dose of the methimazole (which I may or may not be allergic to - or it may have been too high a dose).  I will be taking 10mg a day, whereas before I was taking 40mg a day.    She also wants me to take a zyrtec with it..

I cancelled my surgery for Tuesday, I will start taking the medicine today, and in two weeks I go back to the doc to see how my liver is doing.  If it is bad or has gotten worse in anyway, then I go off the meds and schedule a surgery (she said I could wait until September as long as I stay on propanalol.

The next two weeks are full on health mode, hopefully some acupuncture (some say it works), and the new meds.

I feel really good about this decision.  Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well in the next two weeks..
