Graves Disease to Subclinical Hypothyroidism...confused

Hello,

In August 2018 I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and put on Carbimazole 40mg which dropped to 10 mg over three months. In December my blood results showed my TSH was out of range at 16 but normal T3 and T4, my Carbimazole dose was halved to 5mg. Last week (March 2019) my blood results showed my TSH was 22.01 but again my T4 was normal.

I have felt constantly tired and not myself for months now. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did their treatment change?
