I was wondering if you could help with my mum's latest blood tests. The lab are saying that the test results are within normal ranges which it seems but I would appreciate your thoughts. She is 82, fatigued all the time. She is still taking 10mg Carbimizole along with 5mg propanol. Maybe it is not the Thyroid which seems to be stable. Thanks x

I went through your previous posts and saw the Graves antibodies tests still had not been done which means Graves still cannot be confirmed or ruled out.
The hospital blood test which first diagnosed her hyperthyroidism, do u have the results? Maybe antibody tests were done back then?
As it stands, the cause of your mom's hyperthyroidism is still not known, so maybe her treatment is not maximised?
Hyperthyroidism can also cause heart rhythm problems which can result in fatigue. Graves in particular, can cause atrial fibrillation which can have pretty debilitating symptoms.
