@fatsfat - Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
I guess you see that others also have problems with their thyroid.
I agree that your daughter needs help before next possible appointment time. I’m not familiar with tapering of this medicine.
It would be best to see a doctor ASAP. The endocrinologist or an Internist.

The ENDO who put her on the meds, after a few months under her care and increasing the PTU MG's, and 3rd set of blood work and last on May 5,2021, said her blood work was all over the place and Said it was above her pay grade. Told her to see what the PCP can do. I can tell u, NOTHING but shoving her doctor to doctor and suck more money from with no regards for her financial status, plus the meds are expensive and making her worse. Same treatments I encountered for years. New endo is not available until mid July and many not taking new patients etc.etc.
I am connected with Dr.Lam and his site and other sites, and I need advise now and not watch a video and write stuff down with nerve damage in my own hand etc. Daughter does not have access to lots of media,cable etc. I am just needing direction and who can help sooner or guidance on the medication and rare but life threatening condition that I listed in initial post. Someone that knows how to address these things and get to the root, instead of wanting to cut thyroid out and not address if something else like adrenal etc is a problem Thanks.
