@martin300 Hello, and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am sure there is someone here who will be able to reply if we have a little more information. Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperthyroidism trues to get to the root cause, then a plan can be made.
Sometimes, there is a correctible underlying cause, or some other health condition is causing the problem. When it is corrected, the thyroid may re-regulate itself...
What led to your diagnosis, and are you seeing an endocrinologist?

I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and had hypo thyroid. Within a year I was diagnosed with Graves and got hyper thyroid. I was on And anti-thyroid medication for 18 months and did it correct itself. I went in to my endocrinologist every three months for bloodwork as he said that most commonly re-lapses happen within two years. Three years later my graves went active again. And I’m back on Methimazole 5ml 1x day. I have also made dietary changes to help with side effects and find being gluten free has been a game changer. I had terrible brain fog, fatigue, joint muscle pain. My symptoms are 90% better with diet change. I recently went on vacation and for two months after fried sugar and all things gluten back into my diet. In those terrible symptoms all came back.
