Do you have any of your free T4 or free T3 results and ranges?

Some dr's use TSH to determine thyroid health, which is a ridiculous assumption to make!

Hi sammy3 when was that tsh test done? Was it the last test done when endo discharged you or is it a new one was you really only on carbimazole for a few weeks have I read that right cause that doesn't seem right usually they Keep you on it for a few months. Have you been back to gp and asked to be referred back to endo as you could be relapsing. It's not uncommon to relapse and have to go back on carbimazole, I'm surprised your endo discharged so quickly would suggest you ask to be referred to different endo one that is a bit more understanding and knows what they are doing. you really need to have at least your t4 tested as well as tsh to see if your levels are over range.a s for your eyes if you have graves you can have thyroid eye desease and this should be checked out they should at least give you eye drops to help with gritty feeling this usually due to eyes being dry.

Are they sure you had Graves and not Hashimotos (you can have both) - it depends which antibodies they tested and what the results were? Hashis can make you hyper for a short amount of time and then you'll start to go hypo. Although your results are pretty normal, your FT3 and Ft4 are quite low in range.

You also need to get B12, D3, ferritin and folate checked as non-optimal levels can give you symptoms simiar to thyroid problems
