Hello, yesterday I made a blood test. My t3,t4,tsh labs are normal. My Thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) is high (124). And my Anti-TPO is normal. I have thyroid nodules. "On palpation bilateral nodules, hard and painfully insensitive. Echographically, the right lobe is almost completely nodose altered, 31x23x~50mm. As if they are more inhomogeneous nodules confluent with each other. The left lobe is slightly enlarged with an inhomogeneous structure 24x24mm. Isthmic to the left inhomogeneous nodule with extensive calcification 27x17x31mm. At that level, light compression of the trachea is ob ..read more

So it started with a basic annual checkup in Feb. My TSH has always been in the 3-3.5 range for the past few years which I have always felt is a little high as I have a lot of hypothyroid symptoms, but medically it’s viewed within the normal range so I’ve never received treatment. This year my TSH jumped up to 5.37, with normal t4. So my doctor ordered an ultrasound and these were the results: (I should also note that my thyroid has been aching a lot lately, specially after drinking coffee or taking my adderall, and even more if I do both.) Ultrasound results: DOS: 04/22/2024 15:03 Exam: US S ..read more

I swear this has to do with thyroid. I just need to share background and voice my frustration at continuously being gatekept and made to feel crazy by doctors, and no offense it’s almost always specifically male doctors. I previously had a fibroid that I went to a male gynecologist to get an opinion on how to remove and the doctor explained to me that I didn’t have one. I said I have the radiologist findings, and I can feel it, and I was having menstruation issues. He went on to explain to me how radiologist always “see something” and that I was having a hard time, like a lot of women with th ..read more

I'm getting a partial thyroidectomy in 29 days. I have a nodule on right side that they've been unable to determine if it's cancerous or not so they're removing the right half to further test it. I'm looking for any information about the recovery for a partial thyroidectomy. Any tips are more than welcome! I want to be thoroughly prepared. submitted by /u/piggybi [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve seen an endocrinologist for about 15 years and my labs and ultrasounds barely change. TSH ranges between 0.25-0.33 and T4&t3 normal. Positive TPO antibodies, something low like 80-90. I’ve had the same nodules this whole time. She keeps saying it’s nothing to medicate but I’m tired of being tired and overweight. Is there really nothing that can be done? During Covid, my primary care doctor said I needed synthroid so I took that for a few months and felt worse on the medication. It also didn’t make any sense to me because I thought synthroid lowered TSH and mine is already low. She sa ..read more

Hello, is 0.01 TSH level along with 117 ng T3 (normal) and 1.4 ng T4 (normal) concerning by any chance? I recently have had horrible experience at Kaiser pushing medication on me when it was not needed. They recently told me based on my blood test that I have sub clinical hyperthyroidism and I have Graves’ disease. They want me to get on methimazole for 1-2 years. I read online in most cases it can resolve on its own. Is it necessary to take methimazole? I have no symptoms other than one eye recently seemed a little droopy but it has been getting better with hot/cold compress. Thank you for y ..read more

I am in URGENT need of your help… Here are some numbers real quick: Monday April 22nd read a TSH (with Reflex to Free T4) at a value of 3.562uIU/mL (the range is 0.350 - 4.940). Now today on Thursday April 25 my TSH Reflex test measured at 5.910 uIU/mL and my FT3 was 3.5 pg/mL (standard is 2 - 4.4) and my FT4 was 1.17 ng/dl (standard is 0.82 - 1.77). **I believe I have had a rare and adverse reaction to taking Lugol’s 5% Iodine solution… I have not slept in 6 days. My body is wired and wide awake. Completely and utterly. If any of you can find the kindness in your heart to help me, I wouldn’t ..read more

Hi all I was wondering if a TSH of 0.54 (quite low and down from 0.9 in February... but still just in range which UK NHS says is 0.35 to 5.00) could be causing (subclinical) hyperthyroidism symptoms? My Free T4 is apparently fine at 16.1 (range 9-21) - it was 13.4 in Feb - and my doc didn't measure T3. I am in my mid-40s and have read that TSH is usually higher as you get older. I have been experiencing fatigue and muscle twitching, all 4 limbs have muscle weakness and (I think) some muscle loss, I'm usually hungry, eating quite a lot but weight is static; waking up after 5 hours of sleep and ..read more
