Thyroid Update

Thank you all for continuing to lift up my family in prayer during my struggle with Graves Disease.

I started seeing a new doctor at the end of April.  After reviewing my blood work, he decided to start me on a medicine called methimazole.  I had my blood work rechecked at the end of May and have seen much improvement!  Praise the Lord!  I am still out of range in several areas, so he increased the dosing and I will have my blood rechecked in another couple of weeks.

I still have a lot of hope that this situation can be reconciled with medication instead of surgery (which has a whole new set of issues).  My new doctor is amazing and the Lord has really affirmed a lot of things through him.
