Drugs and Other Fun Things (Not)

So, I definitely do have Hyperthyroid. The endocrinologist gave us two precriptions, which we got filled before heading back to Millersville. I'm taking PTU (two pills with every meal, every day...) and a Atenolol (a beta inhibitor) once before bed to keep my pulse at a normal pace. Apparently the big danger with hyperthyroid is heart arrhythmia.

I'm not used to taking drugs regularly, especially ones that can have side effects... but I think I'll be ok (:
