Hyperthyrodism, with Autoimmune Hepatitis ( drugs: Azathaprine and Citalopram)

[samb485]

Hi. I have just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.

I currently have Autoimmune Hepatitis also. I know its a long shot, but is there anyone else who suffers from the same?

I'm not sure how long I have had an over active thyroid but I started taking Carimazole yesterday evening (40mg daily - 20mg in the morn and 20mg in the eve).

I am currently getting over an extremely bad chest infection and am the back end of taking a course of Amoxicillin. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait to complete the course or not before starting the Carbimazole!

My WBC is extremely low at the moment and my Azathaprine (for autoimmune hepatitis) has been reduced to 25mg daily because of this.

I am very new to this site so I was just curious to see if anyone had the same as me!

Thanks

Sam

Can you add your thyroid test results so members can advise

TSH, FT3 and FT4 plus thyroid antibodies too if these have been tested

TSH <0.01

T4 37.3

T3 20.5

I honestly have no idea what any of these mean.

Any info or advice please?

Thanks.
