Home stretch?

The endocrinologist's nurse called today, saying my thyroid antibodies were negative, my thyroid profile was normal, and I could just stop the PTU and retest in 6 weeks. My eyes are much better than even last fall, although I have a feeling that I will never be free of the mobility problems with my right eye, nor the remainder of the swelling around it. But this is nothing compared to looking pop-eyed or having to use eye drops every 15 minutes.

I vow to get my TSH and FT4 and FT3 tested several times a year, and act if things are higher or lower than the narrow range I've maintained this past year. Amazing how horrible high or low thyroid levels can make a person feel.
