Hi yall,
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid two months ago. Symptoms were palpitations, weight loss, feeling hot all the time, libido drop. Testing showed no real cause so the Dr. assumes it was too much iodine from supplementation (I have no natural source of it in my diet). Regardless, he had me stop the iodine and start 10mg methimazole. Three weeks later and symptoms were a bit better but not totally solved. So we bumped to 20mg. Two weeks after that I felt fantastic. Like, sooooooo good! And then I crashed out on Monday. Irritable as hell. Tired. Cold. Weight gain. So, we’re going to 15mg. How long will I suffer as I wait for this to balance out?

I’m 41 and played tournament paintball heavily (even had a World Cup appearance!) in the early 2000s. I find myself living in Chicago. Where does an old man go to play speedball with other old men around here? Like, I’d wreck rentals but I’d get wrecked by good players, too.
