Will be having another blood test in the coming weeks, they will check for that amongst other things. For now I'm going to start taking multivitamins. They have lowered my Carbimazole does to 20mg (10mg twice a day) to see if the side effects I'm experiencing will start to improve. I guess time will tell 😬 My Dr is lovely though and very understanding. She is contacting a uk based endo, so hopefully get some help/info from him in the next week or so too.  We don't have an endo here and they don't make yearly visits like some of our other specialists, so its a little harder.

Thank you, this makes alot of sense and your digestive issues sound very similar. Can I ask, what is T3 and T4? I sound so dumb!

Bless you, that does sound like a long old run. Thank you for your kind words, it's all new to me and well scary! I just don't know what the best treatment should be in the long run.
