Hi,

I am sorry you are on medication, yet are suffering other clinical symptoms too. This isn't unusual.

Always get a print-out of your blood test results and if you have a query, post them. They must have the ranges as labs differ and it makes it easier to comment. If not already tested, ask for Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, iron, ferritin and folate.

Intolerance to Levothyroxine caused me fibro symptoms and they disappeared when I added in T3.

Ask for a referral to a rheumatologist to confirm diagnosis.

You need vitamin d level tested ta common esp in graves to be deficient!!!
