    Hi, when I was overmedicated my TSH went up to over 20. Maybe your thyroid stimulating autoantibodies went up. Just because you kept taking the same dose of PTU does not mean that your thyroid hormone levels are constant.

      you are right about antibodies SAM it was going up but endocrolonologist ignored high antibodies they are so narrow minded (nhs -uk) they checked your blood test they dont care about symptoms if your tsh 0.01 and your freet3 high they said graves disease your option surgery or RAI
