Wow thank you for the info, So in a unexpected twist I took a thyroid panel last week because I was curious and my free t4 has dropped about 70% so my ENDO is now not letting me get any treatment and to see if it resolves on its own. Btw my levels gradually rose while getting treatment but I had no idea until I became symptomatic now I'm almost feeling normal except for a little jitteriness and exercise difficulty.

Was yours caused indirectly from your pituitary glad or was it thyroiditis? 

Initial labs from my Onc concluded My T4 was high, almost untraceable TSH. Had a ultra sound a week later and showed no enlargement or nodules. After that a radio active iodine was done and stated my uptake was 40% after 4hrs and 60% after 24hrs both super high! Images were consistent with graves. On top of that all the clinical hyperthyriod symptoms. But no eye issues to date.

Thank you so the my ENDO explained that the anti thyroid have risks and require primary liver and other test similar to pre chemo labs frequently. And thyroid replacement pills is safe unless you over dose of course, which makes you compatible with deployments even in austere environments. This is all new to me I was a perfectly healthy 26 year old a year ago haha
