Mary7777,

I think you should consult your GP or specialist before resuming Carbimazole.

No don't just do that. definitely see your GP. It is early days so you will be a bit up and down. I had this treatment twice within 14 months of each other over 22 years ago. My gland still as a bit of life left in it, but am Hashi's now. xx Wishing you well
