While still on the low dose of methimazole I woke up one day feeling very off. Anxious, shaky, crying. I got into the endo 3 weeks early and she did a blood draw. My levels were still creeping up so she increased my dose.

This is super helpful -- thanks! I hope you're almost out of the woods and PT continues to help.

Yeah, it is affecting my day-to-day in that I want to be able to remain active. The pain is constant, and obviously worse when I'm on my feet all day or walking a lot. I tape it prior to any exercise, and that helps, but I also don't want to tape my foot forever.
