[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, I've identified an endocrinologist to call and make an appointment.

Out of curiosity, what were your TRAB levels when your Graves disease was active, and were your other thyroid results abnormal as well?   My TSH and other antibody tests were in the normal range (although TSH was below 1, low normal).  But given that an ophthalmologist suggested the test after my exam is enough to make me concerned.

Pp here. I don’t remember much discussion about my thyroid antibody levels, as we were always tracking my TSH. My TSH was undetectable when I was diagnosed, and I was diagnosed and we just happened to find it on a blood panel run by my OB. I was 25 years ole, wasn’t experiencing any symptoms that I was aware of, and we were just checking in on month 6 of trying to conceive. The endocrinologist started me on an anti thyroid med called PTU and I was literally pregnant within weeks. I had an ultrasound on my thyroid to check the size and check for nodules, and continued meds and monitoring. At one point, she thought one of my eyes was getting larger than the other, and sent me to the eye doc to be monitored for a while, but nothing ever came of that. My Graves was pretty easy to manage.
