I was recently told I have a low tsh but my scan came back "normal". I had grave's in 2008-2009 and then went into remission... Doctor says since scan is normal, she won't do anything. Any chance I can still have grave's with a normal scan. I have lots of symptoms! Thanks!

My TSH has been in the normal range since taking it and my Free T4 has remained high in the normal range. Areas where my fine-control muscles have been weak are a little stronger when I am taking the Carnitine -- specifically, eye muscles and bladder control muscles. My symptoms also improved, but they seemed to be more the symptoms of hypothyroidism rather than hyperthyroidism, and they improved much more when my doctor put me on Wellbutrin.
Like Linda says, we are each individuals and can't say one-size-fits-all. I am one who has, or has had, both types of antibodies--some for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and some for Graves' Disease, but the doctors were always more worried about the GD than the HT, while I have felt best when my thyroid hormones were high in the range.

I think feeling well is what helps relax the antibodies the most. As long as my TSH stays normal the Endo is not interested in checking the antibodies, though.

I am so glad I came to this site though... because if I don't have Grave's then at least I have some options to maybe help with my symptoms. I am going to look into the l-carnitine... didn't want to start it until after I hear what they have to say.
Thank you again and I enjoy reading all the posts! I know I will be checking other discussions often.
