So to start this out, my mom has had hyperthyroidism(Graves’ disease) and luckily I don’t think she has it anymore… or at least she says it’s not causing her issues. Anyway, this year has been rocky health wise. I got diagnosed with Seborrheic dermatitis, my eyes have been having aches/pains, headaches, weight gain and a whole list of stuff. But the reason for this post is that my left eye, which aches quite a lot, feels like it’s bulging out a lot more than my right. Like noticeably more… and now I am afraid I might have Graves’ disease like my mom, especially with all the symptoms and my ey ..read more

Recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism with bloodwork. TSH .01, fT4 3.87, fT3 9.7. Ultrasound revealed swollen thyroid along with one larger nodule on the right and a smaller on the left. Both considered TR4. Symptoms started as tender thyroid, the fatigue, racing heart, dizziness and then late afternoon flu like symptoms that have taken me out. All in the span of about 3-4 weeks. I’m having an iodine uptake scan tomorrow. Many of the hyperthyroidism symptoms sound like me, except I get freezing cold with flu like symptoms in the evening with a tender thyroid which doesn’t seem to match up w ..read more

Hi. At 23, I had a TSH of 1. Every year, it has declined ~0.15 and at age 27, I’m at a TSH level of .34 Doc said not to worry. I can feel this shit in my neck and eyes. Told him this too.. What’s the next step? Complete thyroid panel? New doctor? Endo? I’m annoyed and already told him I will not continue with his practice.

25 years old, healthy male. Always felt like I had lower testosterone so I got my bloodwork done. Could this be the cause of my lower testosterone? Going to an endo tomorrow for bloodwork, what do you think they will tell me looking at these results? Thanks! submitted by /u/Sea-Astronomer-9429 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone I went to my GP yesterday as I’ve felt really unwell for the last while. I’ve had an erratic and high heart rate, have a base level of nausea all the time, am SO fatigued, snap at any inconvenience, feel constantly stressed and anxious, and just don’t have the will to do anything I enjoy. I’ve been feeling like this for more than a year, and it’s gotten worse over the last month - I’ve also lost about 4kg in the last 3 or so weeks with no change in diet and exercise. Told the GP all of the above, but didn’t really elaborate on the mood aspects (didn’t think it was relevant) and he ..read more

Just had surgery to remove my gallbladder and had to go to the ER shortly after for problems, during that time they did a CT Scan and found nodules on my thyroid. I had an ultrasound today. Could someone help me understand these results? Does this mean I may have a high risk of cancer? I've also had bloodwork done this month (TSH With Reflex To Free T4) and results are: 2.197 (Normal). This has been trending down since 2022. I had 2 previous blood tests with 3.602 in Nov. 2022 and 2.492 in Jan 2024. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Hey, lovelies! I’m a 47 yr. old woman. I have iron deficiency anemia that I’m working on correcting and recently had a D & C to address the problem that got me to IDA. I had bloodwork drawn on 2/6 because I generally felt unwell and had many of the hypothyroid symptoms. The IDA also shares a lot of those symptoms so I’m trying to sort everything out. The pic shows what they tested. I specifically asked for all the things they can test for thyroid issues.I’m having bloodwork done on 5/9 so I’m trying to prepare. Do these look like I need to look into it further? Are there more tests t ..read more
