my son was a newly diagnosed "graves disease" pt. he was given tatazole tablet 5mg. to be taken after breakfast for one month, what are the side effect of tatazole, the things he have to avoid and if you can give me more/additional information about the disease. thanks!
If you don't mind. I see you posts starts out as Graves Disease and you are looking for a surgeon?
While I would have to do some checking around on this can you post the reason for the removal? - Is it for Graves disease?
Graves Eye Disease , caused or mad worse by the Iodine treatment. If you think Graves Disease is bad? Let me tell you Graves Disease is a walk in the park compared to the EYES being messed up. Let no Endo rush you into that fast cheap fix. Make sure you are eating properly and see a eye doctor to check for Graves Opthamology. I can tell you this, after being Hyper ..... Hypo is no fun at all. When are used to having tons of energy, having none is pure hades.
Graves Disease is never cured BUT it is managed better without a thyroid or after RAI.
You still have the antibodies but no thyroid for it to attack.
As for meds, you swap one lot for another.
You go from anti-thyroid meds to a T4 medication so basically you are on meds for life.
The thyroid regulates every organ in your body and if no thyroid, meds have to do the job.
Hyperthyroidism is a lot easier to manage without a thyroid.
I have been going to an Endocrinologist for almost 1 year. He has done several ultrasounds showing that I have 5 tumors on my thyroid. I have a biopsy which showed they were benign. I recently had another ultrasound which showed one of the tumors had shrunk but another one appeared.
I found out via an email that I have Graves' disease . 4 weeks ago I learned I had hyperthyroidism and was placed on methimazole 10mg2x a day. The email for the type came 3 weeks later and it was frightening to read about. I felt exhausted for months had stomach issues and lost 15 pounds in a month.
4 weeks into the medication I have a distended stomach with pains and horrible rashes.
All that said I'm completely stressed about the eye issues that come with graves.
iam apatient who suffers graves disease. My question is : Although I am almost 4 months on Carbamizole treatment 60 mg + Taking inderal ( propanalol), but the levels of my T4 & T3 are still high and the levels of TSH is less than 0.01.
what do you think , should i sstop the medication and think of the other allternatives like the radioactive iodine or surgical removal?
Zoloft use can change how much medication you will need. It shouldn't cause hypothyroidism. I tried a search.
Th high cholesterol may be a sign of the hypothyroidism. Also depression can be a symptom as well. I would look at it like this: You became hypothyroid, and in turn, got depressed and cholesterol increased. Then you were diagnosed. Give the meds time to work and make sure to get follow-up blood work to re-check thyroid and cholesterol levels.
Oh wow, I'm not really the person to ask as most of my research has gone into my own condition.. I was hyper thyroid because of an over-active nodule that was producing too much hormone which, I'm pretty sure, would not relate to children.
I do know of transient thyroiditis which can have many causes (perhaps that's what your specialist believes it is) and, of course, Graves disease. I googled 'juvenille hyperthyroid' and there was an array of results.
I am a 25 y/o female diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at 16 and later with Graves Disease and Goiter. I have been on Tapazol along with Atenelol (for the Tachacardia) off and on for the past 9 years with no results. Every doc I see wants to discuss nothing but RAI or surgery. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few years with no success. I finally found out that I was pregnant the beginning of last year and made it to 4 months and suffered a miscarriage for no apparent reason.
My niece was diagnosed with Graves Disease and put on some medication but not synthroid. After 2 years her doctor says the Graves Disease is gone and she was taken off of medication. I do not understand this for I had the testing and then an ablation and now I wonder if I needed it. I had the uptake test and they said it revealed Graves. I am told I have Graves controlled and will always be hypothyroid. I am confused.
this could be a symptom of Graves' disease or the combination of the medication and the Graves' disease.
It should be pointed out that, especially in the US literature, the term ‘hashitoxicosis’ is sometimes used to describe an autoimmune thyroid disease overlap syndrome of Graves’ and Hashimoto’s disease.2 In this article the term is strictly limited to the ‘leakage’ symptoms of active Hashimoto’s disease." - Touch Endocrinology - Hashitoxicosis – Three Cases and a Review of the Literature
