I have graves, been on methimazole 4 weeks and today i have a sore throat and little cold. does mean i can't take this medicine, i was feeling great ?

Thyroid diseases: this medication is useful for Graves, an autoimmune thyroid disorder. The sore throat and cold are likely NOT related. Stay on your medication. If you are still sick next week, place a call to your thyroid doc. Be well.
