Wendypartridge,

TSH of Graves hyperthyroid patients sometimes takes years to recover and may not always recover. Your FT4 and FT3 are low in range so I'm surprised you are feeling hyper. I'm hypothyroid so I don't have experience of Graves or hyperthyroidism. Perhaps you can repost your question in a couple of days and hopefully a hyperthyroid member will answer.
