So to get this straight… I appears that many people with GD has this issue with the TSH levels going up and down. Is this normal with GD? And some of you choose the RAI while others are not.
I am sooo annoyed with my levels. I was diagnosed Jan. 2010 with GD. I was put on methimazole and everything was fine until I chose to try to treat with natural medicine in 2012. I was put on Thyroid II in conjunction with the methimazole. The thought was as my tsh levels rise my conventional doc will decrease my methimazole. All was working great; I was completely off the methimazole. But then Nov. 2013 my tsh levels went really low, so I went back on 5 mg of methimazole. My next tsh level in Jan 2014 was a 25. So now I am not on anything at all as I wait for my levels to go down. They were going down nicely until just recently. Sept 2014 TSH was 0.8 Nov 2014 TSH level was 8.8.
So is this fairly common for the tsh levels to fluctuate like this? I find it increditbly annoying. I can’t lose weight for the life of me – I am in the military and need to keep it under a certain amount – I know the military won’t punish me for this as its a medical condition that I am in the process of working out. Additionally, I want to get pregnant. I am 32 now and don’t have time on my side anymore!
