I have been hyperthyroid for 10 years multi nodular goitre and graves disease age 74
My medication was neomercazole 10 mgms daily

Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

Your Thyroid Levels are still poorly controlled and would require increase in the dose of Neomercazole to 20mg OD. (in consult with your Doctor). Have you considered Surgery or RadioIodine treatment ? You will need to undergo surgery/RadioIodine treatment for your Hyperthyroidism, as you are unlikely to recover with medications alone. Discuss this option with your Doctor.

Have you checked your fasting blood sugar ? (In view of passing too much urine in night )?

Hope this helps
Thank you
