Ask your GP to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12. If these are low you may struggle to use the thyroid hormones

Always get actual results and ranges.

D-shahed,

TSH 1.077 is low-normal, FT4 1.43 is in the upper range and FT3 2.37 is only just over 25% through range. My understanding is that it is better to have TSH suppressed <0.1 as TSH can stimulate Graves antibodies and worsen TED.

Thyroid antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). It's not uncommon to have Graves and Hashimoto's in tandem.

There is no treatment for Graves and Hashimoto's. Hashimoto's often burns out when there is no thyroid to attack but if there is a lot of thyroid cells left in the thyroid bed then Hashimoto's may persist. Graves does not resolve after thyroidectomy and may go on to attack other organs, particularly the eyes.

Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

D-shaded, sorry to hear your eyes are giving you bother, I can certainly understand how that is.

Your eyes take priority when it comes to thyroid medication and only let a opthalmologist decide if you are on the correct level of meds not endocrinologist.

Are you under the of an opthalmologist? The opthalmologist should be monitoring your thyroid results and or least advising the endocrinologist to suppress your TSH to reduce the impact on your eyes. To be honest I found my opthalmologist better and much more helpful than my endo and I've stuck with him.

You talk of double vision? Have you been offered any help with this?

Hi Shambles yes My ophthalmology wants an operation and he told me to make my analysis stable for six months that's why I'm trying to make it stable with my endo but he never mentioned a hashimoto
