Brief Answer:
Hypothyroidism , post treatment for Graves
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern and i am sorry to hear about your symptoms.
Is the TSH 32 or 0.32 ?
What type of treatment did you have for Graves ? ( RAdio iodine ablation / surgery or just medicines ( neomercazole) ).
Could you attach a copy of the thyroid blood report ?
Some of your symptoms could be due to hypothyroidism which happens after treatment of Graves disease. If the TSH is 0.32, that means it is normal. But if the TSH is 32, it shows that you have hypothyroidism and that would explain many of your symptoms.
I would appreciate if could attach the blood reports.
Regards
Binu
