A member asked:

I have hypothyroidism with a reading of 7.03 tsh and then go back to being hyperthyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Graves disease: Your profile says graves disease, and you are taking Methimazole and/or ptu (propylthiouracil). Graves makes you hyperthyroid. The medications then suppress your thyroid, and can eventually oversuppress your thyroid to be hypo. Graves is tricky to treat, and you can get swings of thyroid function back/forth. You should be seeing someone who is familiar with graves (endocrinologist).
