Hormonal bomb

[vanbr]

I'm taking 10 mg Carbimazole, Evorel 75 mg and have Mirena coil since 2013. I 'm worry that I am using a "hormonal bomb" as I'm using different hormones to deal with problems as menopause and hyperthyroidism. My thyroid is getting under control ( still showing high Thyroid Ab, though). The "new" thing is having high cholesterol (that I never had before), my blood pressure is normal. I'm watching my diet carefully . I know I have Graves disease Any advice? Thank you.

Hey there again :

Do you have any recent blood test results and ranges you can share with forum members ?

High cholesterol can be linked with hypothyroidism - just wonder if your T3 and T4 readings are maintained at too low a level for you ?

I think I have previously given you links and websites that I found interesting - have you dipped into elaine-moore.com at all and found it helped at all with your understanding of Graves Disease ?

Thank you - your T3 is now at 5 ( 3.10-6.80 ) with a T4 at 15.30 ( 11.10 -22.00 ) - I think as I can't see this screen shot very well : please confirm :

So at least we now have aT3 reading and it is around 51% through the range with a T4 coming in at around 38% - so if anything your dose of the AT drug needs fine tuning now and adjusting down a little as generally speaking the T3 should be tracking behind the T4.

Also very important to run the core strength vitamins and minerals of ferritin, folate, B12 and vitamin D - are those on this print out somewhere, and if so can you type them in for me as this screen shot is not very clear my end.
