graves disease

Dear Doctor,
I was dx'd with Graves disease in March of 2006 with a TSI of 243. I'm currently taking 25mcgs. of levoxyl and 5 mgs of Methimazole daily.
I just received my lab results for Nov. from a new endo and want to know what dose of medication you recommend.
Here are the results:
TSH 0.16 (0.4-4.5)
FT4 0.67 (0.6-1.30)
FT3 250 (230-420)
TT3 94   (79-149)
TSI 101 <129
TBII 31% <16%  H
TPOab- 51 <100
TPO 9   <10
Please help me. I've gained 38 lbs in 2.8 years and feel like I'm dying. I am depressed, have no energy. have skin breakouts that hurt, and can hardly climb the stairs. Thank you for answering.

I'm not sure you are doing anything wrong.

It should give you a message that the forum is not taking more questions today. It may have just shunted your question to this forum instead by accident or something.

Sorry, I'm so dense.

You missed, darling.
If you want to submit a question to Dr. Lupo, you need to go here;

The number of submitions per day is limited, so you may have to try a few times to get your question in.

For others interested, there is a duplicate thread that you can look at and share your thoughts.
