Hi, I’m 24F and just trying to understand what’s going on with my body and if this sounds like a typical experience.
Over the past few months my labs have been kind of all over the place. I was intially more on the hypothyroid Hashimotos side of things in like December (high TSH, high TPO), and now I’ve shifted into what my doctor is saying is early Graves. Idk i’m stressed.
My most recent labs:
TSH: <0.01
Free T4: 1.25 (normal)
Free T3: 6.04 (high)
TSI: 204 (positive)
TBII: 2.18
TPO Ab: ~890
Also found out my ferritin is 5.9, so I’m pretty iron deficient too.
My doctor started me on methimazole 5 mg and said we’ll monitor.
A few questions:
Has anyone had T3 high but T4 normal like this?
Is 5 mg usually enough to start with? Did you have to increase?
Ive also been having like a lotttt of anger problems these days.. Did methimazole help with that “uneasy/off” feeling?
Could the low ferritin be making everything feel worse?
How long did it take before you started feeling normal again?
Also if anyone has dealt with both
Hashimotos+Graves + low iron at the same time, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.
