Just go steady and keep your health monitored privately so you can see exactly where your T3 and T4 sit best for you and obviously maintain your core strength vitamins and minerals at optimal levels.
I don't know if you dipped into Elaine Moore's Graves Disease Foundation website but I found her sections on life / work balance , and more holistic, complimentary treatment options very interesting and do now take more time for my ' me ' and true to myself.
We are looking at an auto immune disease and once triggered you are more prone to further ' blips ' but you know you can ride these out with a little help from the AT medication as and when " life stressors " dicatate.
thank you so much and i read elaine moores website on advice from you and thank you this is so helpful. I am now really aware of stress and how to rest
I only started learning about Graves in 2016, 10 years after RAI thyroid ablation so a bit too late for me and now I'm sticking myself back together again like a Humpty Dumpty.
So grateful to Elaine as she went through RAI thyroid ablation around 24 years ago and finding no help with her continued ill health started researching this poorly understood and badly treated auto immune herself.
Elaine is now a leading authority on all things Graves with a World wide following on her forum and she does answer private emails and helped me on a one to one basis when I was so poorly around 6 years ago and dealing with consequences of RAI which of course were not acknowledge by the NHS and I was referred to as a conundrum.
TSH normal is 0.4 - 4.2 so you need to raise it by taking less thyroxin.
10 years ago without thyroid cancer I was 1.9 and 2.0.
2.0TSH is optimal.
Not sure what was 100.
Dont worry about T3
Never have Radio Active Iodine which destroys the thyroid if necessary have it surgical removed.
I was offered RAI after my thyroidectomy and I said you have removed the cancer in the 2 lobes thyroid, you have removed 12 lymph nodes where 2 were found also infected. So No Thanks.
The operation was easy, only throat sore after the pipes put down. Then onto a routine of thyroxin. See above how I take them. Rules around taking them on empty stomach.
No gall bladder.
You get into a regime daily as you know they keep you alive.
TSH normal is 0.4 - 4.2 so you need to raise it by taking less thyroxin.
Member Hc68 has an overactive thyroid and has been taking carbimazole not thyroxine.
Dont worry about T3
Erm..... ????? T3 is the most important thyroid hormone, it's the active hormone which every cell in our bodies need. Why on earth would we ignore T3?
2.0TSH is optimal.
Maybe for you but not for everyone. That would be too high for most hypo patients and is higher than most people with a normal healthy thyroid - see graph:
