I was put on the Proythoracil ? 2 a day then reduced in feb to one a day since then my left eye is bulging will this correct itself or do you think I need to go back to taking 2 tablets or what do you recomend? The 2 glands on the back of my neck are swollen and painful also I have no energy at all and the bags under my eyes you could go shopping with them. My face has septic spots and boils the last coule of week which i v never had before also my periods are coming every 16 days.

Hi, this is due to hyperthyroidism still persisting. In 50% cases of hyperthyroidism, medication is helpful. Rest 50% may show either no benefit or worsening of the disease. It will be better if you go thyroid gland removal and then thyroid replacement therapy for life. This is actually the best treatment for your condition. Please show the problem to a general surgeon. He will do the needful and guide you in a better way.
