Vera7,
I would ask whether your hyperthyroidism is autoimmune ie due to Graves disease. Absence of Graves antibodies can mean that remission from hyperthyroidism is more likely to be permanent whereas having Graves antibodies means remission will fail in more than 50% of patients.

If your endo arranges your blood tests make it a habit to ask for a printout of the results and ranges or make a note of them yourself so you can track how you are progressing.
