Hi. I was diagnosed over a year ago and I'm on the same medication. I started on 25mg and was checked every three months. I progressed to 50mg and now I am on 75mg and I feel much healthier and less tired.

I did not get any side effects so I cannot answer your question but I can let you know that the treatment does work.

I was also diagnosed a couple of months ago and was on 25mg,now 50.I don't feel any better at all to be honest and am going to see the doctor again soon.

No idea what the lump can be but it doesnt sound anything to be alarmed about.x
