High tsh while on unimazole

[Assasss]

Hi

I am on unimazole 10 mg per day for a month now previous I was on unimazole for one month starting on 3*10 and then lowering and my tsh went to 30 while my T3 is 1,01. Any ideas?

If your TSH went that high, I would be questioning whether you actually have Grave's and if you're really on the right treatment. On your last thread SlowDragon asked you some questions about blood test results which you never answered. Were you ever tested for Grave's with TRAB or TSI results? It's difficult for anyone to help you without all the details. But, you would certainly appear to be over-medicated with unimazole and were possibly given the wrong diagnosis in the first place.

Thanks for the reply

I was tested for tsi antibodies and found 7,70 (normal <1,70

OK So, it just looks like you're over-medicated at the moment. Can you contact your doctor and ask for advice?

[Assasss in reply to greygoose]

I’m trying... she doesn’t reply though

I don’t know what to do

[greygoose in reply to Assasss]

I'm afraid I can't advise you, there. I don't have Grave's. But, I think that if it were me, I'd reduce the dose myself. But, don't quote me on that!

You need to stop taking it for a while and then ask for a blood test to check your levels. Are you in Greece? I was not monitored by my Endocrinologist and my TSH was 9 and I felt really ill. Your Doctor should be checking what your levels are can you contact them? How are you feeling at the moment?

Thanks for replying

Yes I’m in Greece

I’m feeling ok at the moment

I just contacted my doctor she told me to stop taking it

She said that I should repeat the tests in about a month

She is surprised I turned so quickly from hyper to hypo and she needs to recheck tsi antibodies

What is the range for the FT3 test ...although that does look low by any of the ranges we typically see, and I’m surprised you still feel well, especially if you were recently hyper.

Graves’ doesn’t always act predictably, but that is a very fast swing.

[Assasss in reply to Valarian]

The range is 0,8 -1,9 for t3

It is a very fast swing indeed that’s what my doc said

We should check antibodies tsi again she said end of month

I don’t know what to think ...
