Tell me your symptoms . I have graves disease symptoms i feel sick at night and i cant sleep . what about u ?
My Tsh was 0.25 and 2 weeks later went to tsh.03/normal range is .35-5.50
ft4 1.3
thyroid stimulating immunoglob is 6.0 tsi index /normal range is less than or equal to 1.3
I think they go up and dow all the time :(
Can long term hyperthyroid turn into hypothyroid,seems like that may have happened to me. Also wondering if being on prednisone for many years (mostly low dose, maybe 2x high a year) can cause thyroid prob, I have ra (arthritis) which also wonder if caused hyperthyroid then burned out into hypo? I am home bound and trying to find out what I need, are family has been exposed to radiation iodine 131 from nuk plant from hanford,wa. all help is needed thank you.
I was hyepr diagnosed with Graves and didnt get the chance to come off anti-thyroid meds as I was going from hyper to hypo to hyper all within 2 weeks.
My antibodies were very high and 12 months on the ATDS did nothing for me.
I think I had Graves for many years but never really knew.
I do know my lowest tsh was 0.03...the FT3 & FT4 levels are different here in Australia.
I had RAI and TT last year and doing great now.
Normally if you have Graves then the antibodies can go down, hence the levels stabilise.
But once the antibodies flare up again, so too does the levels.
As Stella asked...have you had antibody testing done for Graves Disease?
I do not have my labs to share with you - sorry
But if I were you - I would suggest running Graves autoimmune hyperthyroid testing. I do not see anything listed above that indicates this.
What meds were you on? Are you talking about PTU's or anti thyroid meds?
