Hi guys,
Light at the end of the tunnel. After 3 over months of treatment with carbimazole, my T4 & T3 hormone levels dropped below the upper limits of the respective normal ranges. My endocrinologist is happy to declare me euthyroid and subject to a full physical by the AME, I am good to go as far as my flight status is concerned. The AME indicated that as my bp, ECG, blood tests, vision tests etc are all OK, my class 1 medical status certificate is restored. My thyroid medication and low dose beta blockers are OK for flying. Now comes the other hard part, requalification on the simulator, and line checks! Thanks guys for all your input and advice. To those who do have similar condition, patience is the key word as the treatment and recovery period is indeed protracted. Best wishes to all. Cheers!
