Hello all, I was diagnosed with an overactive thryoid in December 2009, having been treated wrongly 3 times before being blood tested.
My first results were as follows:
30/11/09 TSH under 0.03 T4 19.8
7/12/09 TSH under 0.03 T4 27.3
9/12/09 TSH under 0.03 T3 8.6
8/1/10 TSH under 0.03 T4 18.1
20/1/10 TSH under 0.03 T4 13.8
I was put on 250mg Proplythiouracil daily along with beta blockers.
I then had a thyroid scan which indicated multiple nodules and yesterday I had a nuclear scan, which I get the results for next week when I see the endo for the first time.
I've had really bad eyes for some time now, the attack seems to last for a day per week, however, I haven't had an attack for 3 weeks now...so I'm really happy about that!
I had a full blood count done for antibodies which came back as normal...I do have the results...but it seemed odd that I dont have graves as I get the eye disease and have patches of vitiligo on my back which my doctor says goes hand in hand with Graves and I'm itching...I think due to the thyroid meds.
Does anyone have a clue what is going on with me?
Will I have to have RAI because of the nodules?
I would really appreciate some advice,
Take care yourselves,
Hazel
