Just wondering... What is a usual dose of Carbi?
I know that it all depends on levels...
I was diagnosed HYPER 3 weeks ago, TSH <0.01 T4 51.1
I have been on 40mg every morning of Carbimazole. 3 weeks on I have just had a trip to A&E with widespread fiery welts/hives on me, head to foot, it was awful... They did bloods... TSH still <0.01 but T4 down to 42. Hospital told me to continue on same dosage until I see Endo in 7 weeks....
Is 40mg Carbi a standard dose for my T4 level 51.1?
Theoritically could this dose be reduced yet?? As I have dropped to 42 (I know this is still high!)
I took only half dose today 20mg, hives were very much less and more bearable.
Appreciate any insights, docs at hospital seemed to think 40mg was quite a high dose, and I would love to be able to get it down a bit....
TIA
