Hyperthyroid help please.

[corena7]

I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and Graves disease in Nov 2010 my blood test results were then TSH 4.77 FT4 7.0 low FT3 3.0 low no ranges given then . I was then under the hospital and went for blood tests every 6 months, I was also put on Carbimazola. Then my endocrinoogist left and was not replaced in 2016 so I am now under my doctor . my blood test results in September2016 were

TSH 0.37 mu/L 0.27-4.20 FT4 15.9PMO/L 12.00-22.00. FT3 5.1 PM01/L 3.1-6.8 My last blood test was in April 2017 TSH 0.27 MU/L 0.3-5.0 FT4 11.5 PMOl/L 8.4-19.1 FT3 6.0 PMO/L 3.8-6.0 The ranges for TSH seem to have risen since last September so I am now not in range . But my doctor now wants me to have another test in 3 months to see if the TSH goes lower I am on a very low dosage of Carbimazola 5mgs one day then 7 1/2 mgs alternate days. I do not understand what is happening could you please help me?

Corena,

If your FT3 rises >6.0 and TSH drops lower your Carbimazole dose will need to be increased slightly.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. How can you be diagnosed hyper/Graves with a TSH of 4.77. That's hypo, not hyper. Did they test antibodies?

[corena7 in reply to greygoose]

hello GG The first test was in 2010 when my TSH was 4.77, now 0.27. My Antibodies were tested then and were positive 104. Surely I have not been taking Carbimazola for the past 7 years , when medication should have been for the treatment of Hypo? If so could damage have been done? Thank you for your reply.

Antibodies were tested Nov 2010 .

[greygoose in reply to corena7]

Do you know which antibodies were tested?

[corena7]

TPO do not know what that means.
