Hi I have been in remission from graves for 10 months but through out my treatment and every since I have suffered with stiff joints exhaustion insomia burning hands and feet as I was euthyroid the endo discharged me and I have been trying to get on and put up with symptoms last week being really fed up I called my dr and said if it's not thyroid it must be something else she ran auto immune tests all of which have come back negative except the thyroid antibodys range 0- 35 could this be causing my problems and if it is how can I get them to take them seriously
With eutroid bloods

Positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies means you have Hashimoto's in addition to Graves. My doctors insisted that Hashimoto's was asymptomatic and didn't cause symptoms until one was hypothyroid. As I was euthyroid my symptoms were, therefore, non-thyroidal. I didn't believe them then, and when Hashi symptoms stopped after I had a thyroidectomy, I was convinced they were wrong.

Thank clutter as you know I have been boring Every on on here for a while with my Random persistent symptoms funny thing is I think dr just did this one as a stab in the dark as she didn't do graves just a whole bunch of automunne stuff that came back negative I have a phone appointment with her next week so i will see what she has to say but as we both know they won't treat antibodies if every thing else is in range despite symptoms I think I might get my t3 done by blue horizon as they wont do that if you are in range God isn't it boring the its in range bit I'm in agreement with you if you have antibodies that shouldn't be their they are going to affect you
After all antibodies for any other autoimmune illness means you get treatment
There isn't treatment for autoimmune illness, treatment is almost always to restore the low thyroid hormone, low insulin, or low B12 etc. which are caused by various autoimmune diseases.
Sorry didn't word that well I meant if you had lupus like my daughter or ra like my mum they wouldn't just treat you like a hypercondract and be dismissive of your symptoms
If you're in remission from Graves, do you know what your thyroid blood tests look like now? Do you know what your FT3 and FT4 levels are? I'm wondering if you've now become hypothyroid. If you've been told your results are in normal range, that doesn't mean that it's optimal for you.
Yes I have been taking jarrows vitmin b complex as well but I think over balanced them as I started to get really red flushes about 45 mins after taking them I think I overdid the nician
Bit confused look at label it b3 as nician 25mg which is 130 percent but there is b2 as nicanamide 100 mg 500 percent I took them for first month with the b12
Quite shocked at size of doses off jarrows b-right tablets to be honest I didn't look at amount that was in it as every one mention jarrows for b12 I just trusted this was I haven't had liver bloods done for a while I did have some abnormalities when I was taking the carbimazole
I used Jarrow's own site, copied the label, and pasted it into OneNote which has Optical Character Recognition. Just had to tidy the formatting up a bit.
