Thank you so much, Kelly!! And a huge thank you to Dr Lolatgis too. It really does mean a lot to me to have that 2nd opinion. I don't think there's anyone qualified enough to give me a decent 2nd opinion here in NW Tassie LOL.

I will ask the doctor about the neo mercazole next time I see him. I have to have tests done every couple of weeks now so I will ask him then. I think the hyperthyroidism must be fairly bad as last time I had tests done my thyroid was slightly overactive and the doctor didn't worry about meds or anything so it must be quite a bit worse now.

That's a bummer that the drugs can't be used during breastfeeding. I'd be hugely disappointed not to be able to BF, but I guess I will just have to see what is best when the time comes.

Thanks again, Kelly!
