Have you been referred to an Endo? GPs aren't meant to treat hyperthyroidism, especially ones who admit to not understanding TSH ???!!!

Hi hampster 1 thanks for your reply.Yes he has referred me to an Endo so suppose will have to wait and see what he/she says.
Try not to worry too much about TSH, when hyperthyroid its the last to come up and takes quite some time. From what I see, your t4 hasn't budged much which is why you don't feel much different. Give the carbimazole time, you'll get there x
