You’re only hypo until your levels are normalized using replacement hormone, but you still need to be monitoring your levels to some degree even after you’ve stabilized. Annually, at least, once your levels have stabilized and you’re feeling well.

The antibodies can’t change your thyroid hormone levels any more, but you may still experience TED, pretibial myxedema, and some lingering issues with memory (at least in my experience), though the memory issues do improve over time. The fact is that right now they are beginning to understand that Graves’ may be a "syndrome" rather than just one disease, so it’s possible there are other forms of antibodies acting on us that no one knows about, and that means we may not be "done" with Graves’ after our thyroid is gone, but we have removed the element of Graves’ that can turn out to be fatal.

Research continues, we’ll get the latest in October. ” title=”Very Happy” />
