Going through it.

I have Graves since 2003. Had RAI in 2003 and have never had a problem until December 2016. I was overmedicated and know I have all the symptoms of being hyper. I have been miserable. Just want to feel like myself. How long is this going to last. Just need answers!!

Keelah98,

Have you had blood results which show you are over medicated or are you guessing you are because of your symptoms?

Yes. My labs are TSH was 0.111 up to 0.352

Free T4 is 1.47

Total T3 is 1.07

Keelah,

If TSH is up it's because FT4 and FT3 have dropped. TSH 0.352 is low but of itself doesn't indicate over medication. Do you have the ranges (the figures in brackets after the results) for FT4 and FT3?

TSH lab ranges ( 0.356-3.7)

Total T3- (0.70-1.90)

Free T4 (0.65- 1.34)

Who told you that you were over medicated? I bet it was a doctor after a TSH test. If you were having symptoms of overactivity its wise to reduce but if not who is to tell you that you are 'over' medicated?
