I had Graves Disease for 3 years - It sounds like the doctor still need to get you regulated, with the proper dosage of Levoxyl or Synthyroid. I still get my blood tested every 2 or 3 months. Check out this web site http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/graves-... for additional info!! You may also have trouble when you are taking your meds. You need to take it on an empty stomach at least 2 hours before your last meal or least an hour before you eat a meal..
