I had my regular doctor run the tsi,TPOAb and the Thyroid Antithyroglobulin Ab test last week. I will be taking the test results to my thyroid doctor on Feb. 1st. however the results are all in the normal range. I don’t know if they change are are always the same since this is the first time I have had the test. TSI is 50 with the avg. 0-139; TPO Ab is <6 avg. 0-34; and Thyroid Antithyroglobin Ab is <20 avg. 0-40. I have been feeling alot better than I did back in December so I believe my TSH will be back in the normal range when I see the doctor on the 1st. What I am lead to believe is that with these results I do not have Graves. But I will confirm this with the doctor. Thank you everyone for the help on this site. I guess I will have to let the doctor figure out why my thyroid levels are like a yoyo.

That’s what I was thinking, I have been waiting for a call from my doctor since tuesday. I am thinking I might just call my regular doctor and ask her to run the test and then just send the results to my endocrinologist on Feb. 1st. I saw the eye doctor back in mid November so I don’t know if thats a long time or not, my levels bounce around pretty quickly. Thanks for the advice and I think I’ll call again on Monday just to have the test run.

Thank you for your reply. I have read the bulletin already, and I can relate to it very well. My doctor talked about the RAI as an option last May but she wanted to do the scan and see the results before moving forward. Problem is the timing has always been off. I am having skin problems also, not sure if its from GD or not one reason I would like to know. I went to my regular doctor last month for two very very dry red patches on the top and ancle of my right foot that would not get any better with coritzone cream. I asked for the Coritzone tape that is doing a little better. I have had this for about 4 months now. Like I said, I have alot of possible symptoms that could be GD related. I will see my doctor February 1st, her next open time. I am going to ask her if she can at least rule GD out so that if I don’t have it I can see others doctors or counselors for help. I think just know that I may not be as crazy as I feel might make me feel better. It is not that I am hoping to have GD, because I’m not,is not something anyone would ever want to have, I just really seam to be able to relate and I am really sorry this diseaseis so difficult on everyone. I want my old self back, just like my daughter just told me last week, she misses her old Mom. Thanks for your help.
