It will help members to respond if you say what thyroid condition you have been diagnosed with and if you are on medication.

So if you edit your title to include the fact that you have Graves, it will attract the attention of members who have experience of this (I do not).

If you include as much information in your post as possible it helps, members don't always think, or have the time, to read through all of your previous posts.

To edit your original post, click on the downward arrow V beneath your message then choose EDIT, make the changes and click the green button EDIT RESPONSE. Hopefully those who can help will respond.

Although TSH, FT3 and FT4 appear to be within range, my endo said that when treating Graves’ patients with anti-thyroids, monitoring against the same ranges, they look to get FT4 to 18 or less before considering them euthyroid (I think they look to get FT3 to 4.6 or less, but don’t have my notes with me at the moment.)

I know TBII is a measure of antibodies, but don’t understand what this particular result is telling us. Hopefully someone will come along who does understand, if not, I suggest you ask the endo.

I think the really interesting bit will be your next test. If the results are similar, or better, they may just decide to retest in a month or so. just to make sure the symptoms plus relatively high thyroid levels aren’t a sign you are dropping out of remission. On the other hand, if they are substantially higher than last time, they may decide to treat.
