Brief Answer:
report is good.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX , hi! i very well remember you and your case too.
the report is good, but i am not convinced with the idea of increasing methimez. i would have preferred to see the report without the methimez dose increment.
it is not required, you are doing good. as far as fatigue after exercise is concerned, it could be heat, it could be lack of water, may be you are missing on healthy diet, calcium supplement or vitamin D?
please do not change the dose, you are doing good with methimez 15 mg and thyroxine 75 mcg. continue same and let me know after 3 months. how much time has passed since we started the two methimez and thyroxine together?
when are you completing 2 years?
kindly check your records and let me know ?
regards!
