In March 2012, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. Since that time I have been taking Neomarcazole , starting with 40mgs per day, then 15mgs and now down to 5mgs. I last saw the specialist at the beginning of September and told him that for several weeks I had been experiencing pain in my legs.
He did not explain whether this was a side-effect of the medication and I have assumed from reading about Neomercazole, that the pain I am experiencing in my muscles is myopathy.
The pain varies in intensity and comes and goes but is often there at night and stops me from sleeping.
Before I contact the specialist again, I would like to know whether myopathy is dangerous in any way? would it be harmful to continue as I am for another five weeks which is my next appointment with the specialist?
Also, when I, hopefully, stop taking Neomercazole, will damage have been done to my muscles that cannot be repaired?
I am English and live in France and all consultations are with doctors who do not speak English, so I would appreciate, for once, having some answers in my own langugage.
