Absolutely Steve ~ remember, the antibodies are the thing that cause us trouble. When our immune system is stimulated from a disease we’re trying to fight off (cold, flu, infection), it stimulates all the antibodies, not just the "good" ones, and so we can experience an elevation of symptoms. (The same is true of stress, by the way, since that also stimulates the immune response.) Elevating your carbimazole sounds like a rational response. Good thing you’re well taken care of!
SO TRUE, pain in the everything, Graves’.
