I have Graves disease.
Had total throidectomy 10 years ago. Been on 150mg thyroxine daily since then.
9 months ago blood tests meant meds reduced gradually to now 100 mg.
Feel dreadful told I am hyper, but all symptoms of hypo, so cold tired and pain all over body
recent blood test TSH 0.2 and T4 18.6. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

Thats interesting. My story is similar to yours although i didn't need to remain on thyroxine for the last six years . I'm having some investigations regarding thyroid nodules. Have they done an ultrasound on you ?

Unfortunately my g.p doesn't see the need to refer me back to endocronologist.
why did you have no meds for 6 years?

GPS never seem interested when it comes to thyroid problems. They only did a sub total thyroidectomy and after a few years i came off of thyroxine as I kept becoming hyperthyroid again. Just because the blood tests are normal doesnt mean that we havent got problems.
