Resolved question:
I would like to contact an endocrinologist
I have been hyperthyroid for 10 years multi nodular goitre and graves disease age 74
My medication was neomercazole 10 mgms daily
Dr suggested I come off medication I refused as I am multi nodular
Neomercazlole was not available and I was put on polypylthouracil 50 mgms 1x3 times a day
After 1 month I had a blood test and my TSH is 0.005 and T319 T3 4.2
Neomercazole is now available and I am back on my 10 mgms a day
Recent blood test 2 weeks after last is TSH 0.007 T4 14.8 and T3 4.6
Not sleeping much at night
Can you help?

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
