Would be great to not have to take drugs for it, although the surgery sounded a bit scary. It's amazing what doctors can do these days!! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

I totally forgot to take my pill yesterday... running around after 2 kids all day my brain doesn't function properly I may have to look into that some more....I would definitely make the trip to Calgary for it (it's not that far from me anyway)!!! If you find out some more about it Jen, could you let me know!! Good thing I didn't let the doctor talk me into the radioactive treatment! Thanks for the info, Jen! -------------------- ~Crystal~

I would be interested in hearing how anyone else does with it, if they were to go thru with the procedure. Does anyone else here have Graves Disease? -------------------- Amy, Mom to Kayla, 9 Noah, 6 Nicholas 2

Hi, I am hypothyroid too and wish there was a way to stimulate it without the drugs. I have gotten use to the pills but have a had a few slip up when my thyroid bottom out and I didn't realize it and started to forget my pills making me even more messed up. Don't do that any more.
