Thanks for everyone who read and responded to my post yesterday about adverse reactions to the new dose of methimazole. My blood work came back with low absolute neutrophil count, indicating agranulocytosis induced by methimazole.

In the er then will be admitted to the hospital to try and get my white blood cell count back up, doc said to expect to be here several days.

Feeling very low and exhausted from all this. Going to miss back to school night for my big kid going into kindergarten. Just depressed and over this 😞

Hi gang. 35F, I posted a few weeks ago about joining this club, finally seeing and endo a month after my hospitalization, and my endo doubling my dose of methimazole up to 40mg a day.

After the dose increase, I started feeling worse. Shivering, chills, not sleeping, intense brain fog, extreme(r) fatigue, and a bad sore throat. I sent endo a MyChart message and she sent me in for bloodwork yesterday.

She messaged me this morning and said to stop taking the methimazole ASAP and go get more bloodwork because my white blood cells are really low. Got more labs today and just waiting to see if I need to go back to the hospital for a rare reaction... Im so discouraged.

I have 3 little kids all starting school soon, this all just sucks. I'm so scared of ending up with sepsis, I'm about to rip this damn thyroid out of my throat 😫
