> Kath could you have been diagnosed wrong? Goggle Mary Shoman for explanations of what those meds are and definitions of types of thyroid conditions. Love Phillipa
I doubt it. I went to an endocrinologist & he sent me to the hospital. They injected radioactive something-or-other & then did xrays. When I went back to see the endo. he said I had Graves disease & when I told him that I wanted to do some research about it & go to a naturopath, he said, "Well don't wait too long to come back to me, because you could die."
So he gave me 2 choices: the irradiation of my thyroid OR a medication that (although the chances were low) had been known to cause death!
SO, I phoned a friend who is a doctor for his opinion of the irradiation thing & then went to the naturopathic doctor.

PS - don't have the mental energy to look at the link, but thx Phillipa. (This all happened years ago - maybe 9 or 10)
