I was just diagnosed with a mild graves disease. Now I know what this means I am an er rn for 12 years now. But I don't know a whole lot about the medicine methimazole i'm on. I've been doing a lot of research on it though. I am on 5mg only once a day and started with a wbc count of 5.3 before. I am hoping and praying it won't lower it anymore. Also my hgb and hct were 10.5 and 31. Hopefully it wont lower these rbc's anymore either since this is mild anemia. I actually started taking a vitamin with more iron to help my body with the anemia and this auto immune disease. I am wondering if there is anyone out there that is doing good on this med without changes in lab values from before they started. Please tell me there is someone out there that is ok on this med. I have been healthy all my life with no major medical issues. So this is sorta scarey for me. I just want to know there are others out there who aren't having problems with this med. My doctor told me there is was a very small percentage that actually get these side effects.
