No more remission ):
Hello all.
New to this sub, not new to Graves. Really emotional and frustrated. Was diagnosed in 2024, and after finally getting regulated with my endo, was able to become euthyroid after about 4 months of treatment. Been on methimazole since, and we've been slowly down-titrating to hopefully achieve remission. Was told I would likely be in remission come this July.
Just did labs a month ago, and saw my TSH was falling and T4 slowly rising. T4 still normal. TSH slightly below the normal low cutoff. Today I did repeat labs, and although my T4 rose (still within normal ranges), my TSH has now fallen lower. I have been consistently on 5 mg of methimazole now for about 3 months.
I'm just beside myself. I had to correct my severe vitamin D deficiency, and was feeling amazing for a while. Wasn't exhausted, no anxiety, no tremors, etc. I truly thought remission possible. Now im just catastrophizing.
I work in Healthcare, and was teaching a class today. I noticed when I was pointing at something for a student, my hand was trembling. My heart sank, and went to get labs done for my next endo appointment.
Not sure what im looking for. Just heartbroken.
