A member asked:
I was diagnosis with graves disease and started methimazole 5mg 3x a day. i don't want to wait til remission of the disease with meds. opt for rai/surgery?

Heed MD advise: Taking ultimate treatment without the disease being controlled can have its complications: to the heart or to the brain or other organs. The ultimate treatments also have their own complications and side effects. Your doctor should tell them to you especially rai. Discuss with md well so you'll be well-informed and you'll be more at ease with the treatment, oh that is 5mcg.
