                        I am a 40 y.o. male who was diagnosed   with hyperthyroid 18 months ago.  I am on PTU (propylthyouracil).  It  has worked reasonably well, although   getting the right dosage can be tricky.  Even with that, I will most likely be   having my thyroid irradiated shortly.   Symptoms/signs do reappear occasionally   and I just don't like the way I feel.  The best thing is to have a good   relationship with your endocrinologist.  Good luck!
