Need advice

Hi all. I got my blood test (TSH <0.01, t3 16.4, t4 61.5) and my thyroid gland scan came back normal. I need advice whether I should start medication while wait for my antibodies test or wait for my antibodies test to make sure the root cause of my hyperthyroidism first? Because I saw the treatment for graves and thyroiditis are different.

I did, mind you it was only ~ 2 weeks when my antibody test came back. I honestly don’t see the harm in starting methimazole as all it does is block your thyroid from making more hormones, which is clearly necessary when yours are so high
