Graves Antibodies

Hi,

Been to see the doc today. I asked whether any of my blood tests had shown Graves antibodies, and he replied that they hadn't. In view of this, does this have any bearing on a full recovery being possible? Hope this makes sense!

Arab, there is a much better chance of permanent remission in the absence of Graves antibodies but it doesn't guarantee it.

Thanks Clutter. I should also have put that I have been diagnosed with mild TED. Would that suggest the presence of Graves antibodies even though they haven't shown on blood tests?
