Hi everyone, my name is Clare and last year I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid.

I was put on 20mg carbimazole which has now been reduced to 10mg as my levels seem to be more under control however I had a blood test yesterday and the results have come back that my thyroid antibodies are out of range, reading at 223 iu/ml. My consultant is testing me for graves/hashimotos....does anyone know how out of range this is? I'm worried, more so because my aunt had hashimotos, can't get hold of my consultant directly.

Thankyou all ximage
