Carbimazole is used to treat hyperthyroidism. It prevents the peroxidase enzyme from coupling and iodinating the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin, hence reducing the T3/T4.

Symptons improving but not there yet

My treatment (blocking treatment) worked but isn't long term. I should have only been on meds for 1yr and ended up being on it for 2yrs - my consultant is now doing what I asked him to do 6 months ago. I had no side effects apart from my weight yo yoing up and down, putting on 3 kilos and then losing it so always having to buy/wear smaller larger clothing.
