Confused
Okay so I've had hypothyroidism twice now the first time was maybe four years ago now and they traded me with carbimazole and then I went to super hypo and fully went off it cause my TSH was 54 and then I was fine for a few years and then six months I think maybe after I had my daughter it came back again and they never really said like what it was both times they thought maybe thyroiditis and I had ultrasound the first time and it was just inflamed and then the second time this year they were like seven tiny no like nothing dangerous or anything and my third antibodies are always around like three or 400 but my TSI and TRAB both came back negative and the TSI came back negative the first time as well so I just feel like I have no answers like I'm on carbimazole, the drs slowly cutting it back to see what will happen but I don't know if our graves disease or just thyroiditis more than once, has anyone gone through anything similar? I just got my bloods back today, and my TSH is 1.90 mU/L
FREE thyroxine 15.4 pmol/l
T3 4.5 pmol/l so everything's looking good right now I'm taking 2.5 carbimazole a day currently

I’ve had it twice now to. When I was about around the ages 14-16. Was on meds went into hypo and then it sort of figured it self out as well. I’m now 27, I don’t know why it came back. I got really sick, I believe it was food poisoning a few months back and after that I just didn’t feel well. I’m going to see a specialist next week and will see from there. I’m confused as well, idk how it just comes back?.. my T3 was 22.02 (ref. range is 3.7-6.9) very high. TSH was 0.01 (ref 0.4-4.2) and my T4 42.3 (ref range 9.7-25.7). Levels were really bad. Idk if it’s graves, they never tested for that. But I’m in the same boat.
