advice please

[Scavendi]

Hi

I have graves disease and been treated since I was diagnosed in 2014.

I take low dose of carbimazole alternate days and had a blood test at 9am a couple of days ago. Normally the GP will only ask the lab for TSH, but this was a 'well woman' check up so the lab also did T4 and T3.

I ws a bit concerned as the T4 seemed a bit high, though the TSH is fine, so would be grateful for any advice please.

serum TSH level 0.41 miu/L (0.3 - 5.5)

Serum free T4 level 20.8 pmol/L (12.0 - 22.0)

serum free triiodothyronine level 4.4 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8)

Should I increase the carbimazole?

thank you

Those results do not suggest an increase in carbimazole is needed.

TSH is above bottom of range. FT4 is below top of range. FT3 is well below top of range.

How do you feel, any symtoms worrying you?

Hi

thanks for your reply. I do feel the cold a lot, and also very tired - constantly fall asleep in the middle of tv films! Maybe due to getting older though!

What is your current dose of carbimazole?
