Thank you job - you dont fancy moving to NZ do you ?? lol
bttrfly - thanks for the information. I was originally hyperthyroid so know the score, wow that was not a blast for sure. I felt like I was going crazy, my mind never shut off. I got down to 0.01 before it was taken seriously. I have had scans, ultrasounds, radioactive iodine, biopsies soooo many blood tests, agh. But have been all good for a few years, sitting around 2 which is ideal. My number has only gone up to 5 but its enough to be symptomatic, I know that anything over 10 is not good, I have heard of some ridiculously high numbers, I dont know how people function with them that high, its no wonder your h is all over the place, I really feel for you. I know that its important I get this sorted now, hence the testing, my tests needs to be done 6-8 weeks apart to confirm so I have 2 weeks to go before I can do the second one. My endocrine specialist was set up when I last lived here so I can be referred back to him if my level comes back the same or higher. In this instance I am being pro active for me. The thyroid controls a lot of different hormones, hence when its out of whack it really does affect the body in many ways. Metabolism, mood, skin/nails/hair, joints, sleep, sexual health, brain function the list goes on.
Do you know if your h got help to lower his levels?
Bttrfly and job, thank you so much for caring, this has honestly been the most challenging couple of years and without the wonderful support from such amazing people who have entered my life I would be still be hunched in a corner in a blob of pity and doom, I am humbled, so very very humbled by you all. Thank you.
