Is he on strictly gluten free diet?

It helps a lot of patients with Hashimoto's or Graves

Important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 too

Sorry I have Hashimoto's and no knowledge of Graves

His results clearly show over active

I am so angry and terrified to read this.

One thyroid storm is more than enough for anyone and all the stops are usually pulled out to make sure it never happens again. True thyroid storm is life threatening so for your hospital to say they don’t have the resources to monitor him closely is absolutely unforgivable. What happens when he goes into storm, does he go to A & E?

Does he have an Endocrinologist looking after him - I hope so and what is he saying about all this? What about anti thyroid drugs - what does he take and how much? Blood tests - let’s see recent results.

I don’t want to worry you anymore than you already are but this needs sorted. Poorly controlled or indeed uncontrolled hyperthyroidism can be so dangerous - probably why they are now suggesting surgery.

Sorry can’t help with experts in your area, I am in Scotland.

Please post test results so that we can see what’s going on here.
