Hello Everyone,
Thanks for your replies.
If you don't mind, I have a few more questions.
1) Received a diagnosis of Grave's Disease yesterday. My TSI was 225 and T3 and T4 were about double what they were supposed to be and TSH was 0. Dr. said he was 99.9 percent sure I have Graves. Do those lab numbers warrant a diagnosis of Graves?
2) I've felt like crap for 8 years. I feel okay for a year or so and then, wham, I feel like crap for a year or so. Up and down in feelings.
Can hyperthyroid come and go like that?
3) Dr put me on Tapazole. I heard of another drug called carbimazole. Have you heard of carbimazole and is Tapazole better. How long will it take for the drug to start so I feel better.
That's it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
From my understanding yes your thyroid can go up and down depending on what is going on with you at that time in your live. changes in life style diet and other thing do effect it. You are not crazy. I thought I was as well tell I came here.
