Hi to everyone.

Just a quick one today. Ive had Graves for over 15 years had RAI six months ago, went badly Hypo. Am now on replacement Thyroxine 128mcg daily. My levels are now in range....
Im having weekly blood tests:
One week ago  they were ft4   14.3    ft3  4.8  tsh   1.3
This week                       ft4    16.2   ft3  4.7  tsh    1.9

just wondering if you would consider that my levels are stable yet? By the way they change every week. Also, do you think I need to be concerned that tsh has gone up as well as Ft4?
Some of my symptoms have subsided but others have remained or worsened.

Any feedback would be great. Thanks alot to you all Graves Warriors!
Lauren

Hi Lauren:)

FT4 and tsh going up is the T4 med 'levelling out'.
Rushing too fast with T4 meds can sometimes cause this but they will stabalise within a few weeks.
Good to see that your levels are now becoming stable :)

I  had RAI for non-Graves hyper on 12/08.  My Dr. told me to expect fluctuations for 1 year or more.  He also said that I should expect to have days that I just feel "off".
It has been 7 months for me.  I recently started to feel the hypo symptoms creeping up on me again.  I guess it's time for another blood test.
