I am Hypo so I don't know anything about Hyper.

!Serum c reactive. 13 mg/L. < 5.00 - This is an inflammation marker and non-specific. I think that Dr's look at this in conjunction with Differential White Cell Count which may give an indication re type of inflammation. I'm guessing that it may have been ordered just to check if is still high.

!MCV. 107 fL. 80.00-100.00 - This needs to be looked at along with Folate & B12. Your folate looks reasonable. ..... you need to get B12 checked as this indicates macrocytic anaemia.

How are your symptoms? Do you feel better than when diagnosed? Is your doctor helpful?

Currently your thyroid results are all in range. IF it were to stay the same and, a doctor would say no further thyroid treatment is needed.

As you have recently stopped carbimazole , even a low dose, it’s likely it will alter. If your still over producing thyroid hormones it will rise again. The timing might be right and they stay similar or it’s always possible they naturally drop and your become hypothyroid and require replacement thyroxine. Carbimazole reduces production of new hormone, it works quickly but the affect can’t take up to 8 weeks to fully show the adjusted levels.

So this is something to monitor. Any new or changing system need to be investigated and rechecked in about 6 weeks.

Your TPOab was negative but you don’t seem to have further antibody testing. TGab, TSI & TRab. The cause of your hyper should really to be determined.

I’m not knowledgeable on other results but you may find it helpful to reread your previous post, you have some advice about folate & B12 levels on those replies.
