2nd blood test - Grave's?

Small update following the results of blood test no 2.

, BEFORE starting any Carbimazole.

My FT3 and lesser extent FT4 have come down. What's interesting though is that this 2nd test was done before starting on Carbimazole. So I assume the Propranolol is working and maybe even keeping me alive.

Finally got tRAB done, but have no idea what the number means.

Any interpretations guys, so I can go into my next doc appt armed with knowledge?

Thanks as always!
