Graves Disease & Hypothyroidism
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi there,
I have Graves Disease/hyperthyroidism which I've been on medication once for. I've been considered in remission for about 2 years now. I just got my blood work done today, and my TSH level is 20.96 uU/mL and the standard range is 0.400 - 5.500 uU/mL. Such a level would be related to hypo right? I know little about hypo... is that TSH level very high? Also does anyone have problems with both hypo and hyper thyroid?
With automatic test results sent to my email I know I'm a bit ahead of my doctor...any my other test results (T4, T3). I'm just freaking out a little.

I tried meds for 5 years. They dont work.
I use amino acid thwrapy now.
The long lasting side effects of the meds keep coming. Prior to the meds, I'd never had a broken bone. Since the levo, i had a severe foot break and was down for several years. Now i have a broken finger- multiple fractures. I don't even know how i broke it! I pretty much can’t do anyrhing with my right hand until it heals.
I’m so frustrated! Every time i hooe things will turn around, I have more setbacks.
The aminos and other supplements are helping, but the damage from the meds is worse than the disease!
