You need to give ranges for the tests and are you sure that you have Graves? For that you need a TRAb or TSI test.

definitely have Graves but in remission and as levels are as they are I am guessing they are within range of normal? They only gave me the above results so will ask them for the rest

If I had those results I'd be so hypo I wouldn't be able to work. But if you feel good, stick with what's working.

i wondered if it had gone the other way as i fall asleep and struggle to be woken up for about 10 minutes as i am in such a deep sleep and my GP thinks it is because of the strong painkillers. Maybe i should mention hypo to them x

Graves has been diagnosed and in remission but once they stop carbimazole it escalates the symptoms so as I do not want ROI or thyroid removed they have kept the Graves at bay for a number of years. By your resposnse the range seems as good as if I didn't have it?

Not what you're looking for?
