Support needed - levels since diagnosis 3 months ago

[pure786]

Hello all

I would love some thoughts on the below levels since starting Carbimozle and making major changes in my life. Does this look good? I have Hashimoto and graves anti bodies, which started off with graves disease. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

That’s confusing.

Can you show results like this?

Date (including time or am / pm, if you have)

Dose regimen prior to test ( eg 10mg carbimazole dose prescribed 6 weeks prior to test)

Item, result, lab range

Eg

TSH <0.01 (0.35 - 3.50) (Lab ranges vary, so necessary with each result)

Are you currently on carbimazole, if so what dose?

[pure786 in reply to PurpleNails]

Just replied - Carbimozle 5mg in the week and 10mg on the weekend. Does that sound right?

[pure786 in reply to PurpleNails]

Thank you btw xx

[pure786 in reply to PurpleNails]

dose prior to latest test - 5mg in the week and 10mg on the weekend

“TS4 7.4 (RANGE 2.0-22.0)

TS3 3.6 (RANGE 3.1 - 6.8)”

Assume this is FT4 & FT3 & common FT4 range is (12 - 22)

If range is same

FT4: 7.4 pmol/l (Range 12 - 22) -46.00%

FT3: 4 pmol/l (Range 3.1 - 6.8) 24.32%

FT4 is below range & FT3 quite low in range. Most feel well with mod range levels. How do you feel? Do you have any symptoms?

I’d be looking to reduce to 5mg every other day to allow frees to rise if feeling hypo symptoms.

Discuss with doctor & retest in 6 weeks time.

If range is different this won’t apply.

I would agree with PurpleNails

Discuss reducing Carbimazole further

And looking at very high TPO antibodies you may have Hashimoto’s as well as Graves’ disease

You need to retest vitamin D and test B12, folate and ferritin

[pure786]

Hey SlowDragon and PurpleNails

Completely agree, I have asked for the above blood tests and will find out next week! Thank you for your assistance.

Really appreciate it!
