Blessed remission

Spoke with Deb, my endocrinologist's nurse the other day, and after over a month of not taking propylthiouracil, my TSH is still 1.12, which he calls remission from Graves' disease, which is surprising, because I had a strange 2 days last month during which I was sure the Graves' was coming back. I took leftover propranolol from '08 to try to quell the jitters, but it didn't work. Who knows what that was?

My eyes are not 100% back to normal, but almost. Slightly more swelling around the left one and still some limited motion and double vision. Still some lid lag, but nothing like last year. I still have some weird bony overgrowth in fingers and tibias that suggests some acropachy, but whatever. I'm most thankful that the years of feeling horrid are winding down. This last time was much worse than the first flare-up, in 1993.
