[QUOTE="shop, post: 308408, member: 42992"] Hi Sanobar, I was hyperthyroid about 10 yrs ago so I cannot remember the exact numbers for T4. However I do remember that my TSH was 0.01. As you probably know there is whats called a negative feedback where if your T4 is high then TSH hormone switches of and goes low. Visa Versa for hypo thyroid. Out of interest what other symptoms do you have? I had a slight tremor, sweating, rapid pulse ( over 100, 125 at worst ), unsatisfiable hunger, lost 1stone in weight despite eating ridiculous amounts of food, diorreah, extremely tired even after sleeping ( caused by my heart going so fast ), emotional, at one point I thought I was having a nervous breakdown, all because of the symptoms and menstruation every 2 weeks but virtualy nothing. I did'nt however have a goitre or bulging eyes. Your Endo will probably look at both the blood test results and your symptoms together, and if I remember correctly I dont think my T4 was massively over the normal numbers but my TSH was virtualy non existant so that is what he went off together with the symptoms. I was treated with pills which eventually worked, but it came back after a year and then I had radio iodine treatment which made me go hypothyroid. You mention graves disease. Strangely I was tested for this in the early stages and my endo said it was negative. But then not tested again later, weird how I then went on to have T1 another autoimmune condition only 6 years later. I hope you get it sorted as it can make you feel lousy Lucy xxx [/QUOTE]
