You need to reduce your neomercazole dose with the advice of your doctor to alleviate your symptoms.

Dear this itchy patches may be because of some fungal infection. You can try applying candid cream twice a day and apply some talcum powder to keep the area dry. If it does not help, then you hv to visit the doctor personally.

Hba1c of 2% - she had any hemorrhagic episode? she is k/c/o hyperthyroidism and on Neomercazole. Tsh looks ok.
She might be getting hypoglycemic episodes. Is there any associated weight loss?

graves disease is common in women ,it appears during phases of extreme stress , adolescence, during pregnancy
good news is that it disappears as suddenly as it appears
one can reduce the dose of medicines depending upon general condition and thyroid profile
neomercazole is the drug of choice
