I have been on ATD for about 6 weeks, my T3 and T4 are down and in the normal range but on the high side of norm. The body twitching, weird speech pattern and bad insomnia are gone, but I have other symptoms ie: hand tremor, mood swings, shortness of breath, body aches and intense dreaming.
Questions: How does t3 and t4 levels relate to symptoms, and once they are under control with ATD can we expect all the symptoms of GD to go away, except TED?
Thanks, I appreciate others feedback and experience.

Having T3 and T4 controlled within the normal range, over time, should provide you with symptom relief. It takes place over time, not all at once. That is one of the frustrating aspects of our treatments: they work, and work well typically, to give us back our health, but it never takes place as fast as we would like. I think it helps to look at progress, instead of some absolute sense of "normal."
