What is the normal way of taking care of hyperthyroidism?

I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease) last year. I have the palpitations and heat intolerance. I am on Methimazole 5 mg daily. My numbers are back in the normal range...especially the tsh. I didn't want to go on medication but I had no choice. It has helped. I only can tolerate 1/4 tablet of the Methimazole.
I keep reading where Graves Disease can go into remission after a year to a year and a 1/2. I pray that is the case for both of us.
God Bless you & praying for you;

I forgot to mention the reason I feel so bad is because I have terrible body/joint pain.
After my first flare up of Graves’ disease in 2016, it went into remission for about 7 years. Methimazole is apparently the most frequently used treatmemt—also beta blockers for heart symptoms.

I have been on 5 mg. of methimazole each day for 4 weeks due to TSH of 0.08. I have Subclinical Hyperthyroidism. My endocrinologist says my thyroid needs to be removed because it's pressing on my trachea. Retested today and
only changed TSH to 0.09. Dr. increased to 10 mg daily. I have felt absolutely horrible since January with terrible body aches and fatigue. My blood pressure has gone up so high I had to be placed on blood pressure medicine and doctor keeps increasing dosage. I have a mult-nodular goiter. I've gained 20 pounds (before taking metamazole).
In December 2023 I had covid and lithium toxicity at the same time. Doctor checked for Lyme Disease
and test showed I had had Lyme disease at one time.
Anyway I hate to whine, but I feel soooo badly. Any ideas. Could there be any correlation between Lyme. Covid, Subclinical Hyperthyroidism and lithium toxicity. Thank You.
