Graves’ disease & overactive thyroid as result of immunosuppressive treatment for MS

An overactive thyroid, the effect of taking carbimazole long-term on the immune system

I would be interested in asking everyone who is taking Carbimazole how long they have been on the drug, and if long-term what doses are they are on, and what side effects they have.

Carbimazole side affects?

Hi all, I’ve been on Carbimazole 5mg since Saturday, and in the last 2 days I’ve been having an awful headache and pain in my upper stomach. I know the headache is probably just a side affect but is it meant to cause pain in the upper stomach does anyone know?Hi all, I’ve been on Carbimazole 5mg since Saturday, and in the last 2 days I’ve been having an awful headache and pain in my upper stomach.

Neutrophils lowest end of range

I removed my thyroid because I kept having neutropenia (to the point where my neutrophils were literally 0), which the doctors said was caused by carbimazole.I removed my thyroid because I kept having neutropenia (to the point where my neutrophils were literally 0), which the doctors said was caused by carbimazole.
