    Hi Elaine, I hope this finds you well and smiling. I have Graves Disease. I am NOT currently on any medication and have not been for 4 years. Previously I took methimzole in ranges from 2.5 mg to 10 mg for 10 years. Last time I wrote for your opinion regarding the March 2019 test results you said I was mild subclinical hyperthyroidism, and my doctor & I agreed so thank you. I just had my new May tests & I am in all the normal ranges, however, the TSH is higher than it has been in years, & the Free T's went down to the lower end of the ranges. My doctor wanted your opinion on those changes, as well as the elevated TgAb and TPO. If you look back you can see past TgAb and TPO test to see the changes over time. I just had a neck ultrasound that came out clear for nodules. I made many life style changes the past year & I feel great. Also, what other tests might I need to figure out why the TgAb and TPO are still so elevated?

    Thank you in advance, my sincere gratitude.
