It would be helpful if you could post any test results - are you in remission from the Graves? Also are you on any other meds, e.g. for the diabetes?

Did you stop the PTU officially or unofficially? I made the decision to stop taking statins a few years ago after only taking them for a few days, when I came back from holiday I told my doctor that I was officially giving them up.

Hopefully your doctor of whoever is looking after you knows you have stopped your PTU, I was on Carbimazole for Graves and would definitely not have stopped that.

Not what you're looking for?
