Saw my Endo today

and he reduced my PTU from 400 mg daily to 300 daily. My TSH went from <0.004 to 0.379. My T3 uptake was 21 w/ the range being 24 - 39. Does anyone know what this means?

He still wants me to have the RAI done once I'm on the lowest dose possible for the PTU. Still trying to avoid that. When I asked him about "remission" he told me it's like hitting the lottery and my odds would be 3 in 10,000. Hey, isn't that better odds than the lottery??? LOL

Anyway, I'm just glad to get my meds down....slowly but surely.

Thanks for listening.
