So it's been a year since I started my search to answers for my condition... my some of my symptoms are:
- fatigue
- easily gain weight
- mood swings
- concentration issues
- extreme muscle pain ( from waist down) including neuropathy like symptoms, burning, tingling...
- numb feet
- extreme to cold
My mother, for the record, has hashimoto. Early this year I went to get blood work done to check for hashimoto to see if my fibromyalgia like symptoms were not hypothyroidism or hashimoto itself.
my results were:
- Thyroglobulin Antibody : <1.0 IU/mL
- Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab: 18 IU/mL
- T3, free, serum: 2.2 pg/mL
- PTH, intact: 16 pg/ml
- Cortisol, AM: 25.7 ug/dL
- TSH: 1.310 uIU/mL
-T4, free, Direct, S: 1.04 ng/dL
- Calcium, Ionized, serum: 5.3 mg/dL
My endocrinologist said I was COMPLETELY fine... although I have to say that the T3, TSH, and T4 in those labs are on the lower end of the range showed on the paper, and what I have learned ( in the internet...) is that OPTIMAL range is far from what these papers usually show, when comparing my results to what optimal ranges would be, I would actually have hypothyroidism. My calcium was also to the higher side and he blamed my slightly high vitamin d.. although I told him vitamind D ( I was taking 4,000 IU a day) was the only thing that was making me feel better.. he told me to stop.
Since then, my symptoms have multiplied by 1000x... I feel so desperate, my body pains are insane, I can't even walk my dogs anymore. I have gone to a neurologist, did a 2hr glucose test, CPK, and aldolase to rule out any muscle problem and everything was fine. By the way I'm a bodybuilder and far from inactive ( or at least used to be.. ) now I can barely walk to the gym due to pains.
I'm also now pretty much suffering from depression, which to be honest I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that I'm extremely frustrated with my situation or if it is because I actually am with hypothyroidism. I also had done an ultra sound of my thyroid and he said I had a very small node on one side that was too small to be considered an issue..
Hoping someone can give me some advice here to what could actually be going on. I've gone to so many doctors so far that is difficult to talk about everything in here. But I'm starting to not trust my doctors when telling me my numbers are fine when they are to the extreme lower side and considering that since them I have drastically gotten worse.
Thank you for your time <3
