Do I have Graves' or Hashimoto's or both?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi. I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid last November. I was booked in for a thyroidectomy but I cancelled it to give myself a chance to try and control my metabolism naturally, which I've managed to do. My latest results are better than they were but they're not perfect: my TSH is 0.14, T3 is 4.51, RT3 0.07, T4 is 15.11, Anti TPO is 116, TRAb anti-receptor TSH is 2.3. Along my journey I've been told by some doctors that I have Graves and others that I have Hashimoto's but I'm not sure which one I really do have... I'd be grateful for any help and guidance as to what the above results mean.
Thanks. P

Thats not always true with hyperthyroid...I've gained weight and its why my doctor desided to check my thyroid...I was up by about 20 pounds and tired alot of the time......I've talked with others as well...that have also gained...and a lot of the ladies gain from the medications after finding out they have hyperthyroidism...
Seems the thyroid has no set of rules...
The thyroid is a tricky thing...
