Suppressed TSH

I have had a suppressed TSH for about 2 - 3 years (eventually diagnosed with hyperthyroid probably graves according to my Doctor)

My T4 and T3 are now within the "normal" range (I have been told by other suffers they are too low in their opinion)

My question is will my TSH always be suppressed or will it return to where it was when I was healthy which was a TSH 0.95?

Re: Suppressed TSH

It is difficult to predict which way it is going to go. Some patients remain in a stable situation for years, others become overactive and some may become underactive. If you have no symptoms and no heart problems and if you are under 60 and have no osteoporosis, it is reasonable to just keep an eye.
