Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.

Don't take these tablets because they have so many side effects like a headache blurred vision, nausea, indigestion, loose motions, vomiting, giddiness, high blood pressure, irregular pulse etc. You do massage with clove oil twice a day. Start eating a healthy diet like green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, kale etc contribute to male enhancement. Also citrus fruits like avocado, orange, and lemon that are rich in Vitamin B9. Also, you can concern us, if you want a fast result. We provide ther...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Usually antithyroid drug treatment is given for 18 to 24 months. During that period when TSH levels return to around 3 - 4 mU/L (normal range 0.4 to 5 mU/L), thereapy is discontinued. If there is relapse after a few weeks or months same drug may be repeated for another course. However, it is noticed that longer usage hardly produces any benefit. That thyroid function does not return to normal (or remains high). Therefore, I am a bit surprised that you ...more

regarding using radio active for Graves disease, just forget about it and move on
analyze the cause
hope to get cured on it's own like the books say
Graves disease is self...more
