I'm not surprised you feel awful, your FT4 and FT3 are very high. I am surprised your GP hasn't prescribed Carbimazole while you're waiting for the endocrinology appointment to come through. Perhaps your GP could contact endocrinology for guidance on dosing?
HI, ive just come of the phone and managed to get a cancellation tonight at 1830 to go private to see David Scott Coombes at the spire in cardiff. Im worried tbh and its £170 well spent if he gives me meds. Even though my GP market urgent on NHS its a piece of string to me on how long before im seen.
I am hypo so don't know the 'ins/outs of Hyperthyroidism. Clutter will not have seen your question unless she looks at this thread. You have to press the 'reply' if you need an answer.
If you get directions from your Private Doctor you might settle down quite quickly (cross fingers). I'll contact Clutter for you as she was hyper at one time.
I wasn't hyperthyroid and have never taken Carbimazole so I don't know how long it will take to start bringing down your thyroid levels. If you feel well enough to go on holiday I would make sure you know where the nearest GP and hospital are and hope to enjoy the holiday.
Thanks Clutter, I have got to go my GPs later to pick up tablets will let you know what they are forget the name lol. I was told if i got a saw throat with them i would have to come straight off them and go to my GP urgent.
That will be Carbimazole. It can lower white cells which fight infection. If you get an infection GP will want to check white cell levels and may take you off Carbimazole until the infection has cleared. Read the patient information leaflet carefully.
You will need a thyroid blood test every 4-6 weeks until levels are stable.
Many patients experience remission 12-18 months after Carbimazole treatment. Remission is unlikely to be permanent in patients who have Graves Disease.
forgot to mention blood test in 6weeks and also going for blood test Monday (trab antibody titre) for Graves. I have put it off this week due to the shock and how I feel
