After graves disease 9 years ago I had radio iodine treatment but all subsequent blood tests showed TSH normal. Now I have goitre and thyroid eye disease but still TSH is normal. MDT meeting refused treatment for hypothyroidism. I also have myasthenia gravis for which I had a thymectomy so surgery for goitre not advised. All my hypo symptoms are severe especially fluttering and trembling sensation upon waking and throughout mornings. The only symptom I do not have is depression. Can anybody offer me any advice as to what I can do next?
