Hi all,

I got home from hospital on Saturday after another bout of Diverticulitis, its

settled down now apart from thrush with

all the antibiotics.

Unfortunately I`ve also been told to stop the PTU and Thyroxine

as I was throwing up the ptu (the taste in my mouth was awful with

them too) same way as I did with Carbimazole.

FT3 is still high and I`m still getting all the hyper symptoms

though FT4 has came down a bit, my bowel surgeon has given me

naltrexone 2mg and said this could also help with thyroid so

fingers crossed.

I`m still waiting for appointment with ENT and I think I `m going

to go with the surgery as I can`t keep going like this, am also

scared that I`m not on any meds for thyroid at all now.

I`m constantly hungry now and all the weight I put on this year

(5 stone and was hardly eating) is coming off which a few months

ago I`d have loved but I`m so paranoid and out of control now

that even that is freaking me out!

Does anyone know why the T3 stays high when the T4 goes down? From

the start of all this its always been high T3 with me? Seemingly

the PTU would`ve blocked T4 converting to T3 but as I was throwing

them up it didn`t work.

My bowel surgeon called endo, she said to stick with the PTU as I

could`nt be that sick, lower the dose and I`d be fine. I`m glad I

was in hospital and they could see just how much they made me vomit

even on low dose. I`m sure endo thinks I lie to her (could be my

paranoia though lol).

Anyway bowel surgeon then got an endo from hospital I was in to have

a look at me and he said stop them right away.

I`m taking the magnesium every day (thanks Sheila)but still getting

palpitations,also have higher dose of Propanol now.

So thats all my news. feel like I`m in limbo now.

Hope everyone on here is doing ok.

Love Tess
