tsh keeps going up

[Jgoodwin977]

hello

my tsh is now at its highest 5.19 and keeps increasing. I wanted to know if thyroid cancer causes this and if there’s anything you can do to help bring it down without medication?

my t4/t3 12.5/4 are on the low side, but my thyroid antibodies TPO have at least come down to 36.7.

I have hashimotos and know this causes the tsh to go up, but thought it was strange as I’ve managed to get my antibodies right down almost into remission, so thought that would help improve my tsh if anything?

Many thanks

Hi

A Thyroglobin can give you an indication of cancer.

Thyroglobin rising givesan indication.

You need Synthroid synthetic hormone to bring it down.

3.9-4.2 is OK T3.

You should be @ 20-22 T4 for conversion.

My 4th Neck Scan Ultra-Sound showed a 72mm area of ? Postthyroidectomy with 2 lymph nodes infect out of 12 removed.

Then a CT Scan with Dye showed a 7mm and 8mm Lymph calcified and a 19mm x 9mm under ? also calcified.

A Pet Scan.CT Scan showed inconclusive of cancer, with no other images to compare I am waiting 6 months for a CT forward.

A warm patch at my pituitary gland recommends an MRI now. But I have no headaches.

These were the results worth noting.

Hyper and Hypo you run the risk of a Stroke. I had one with AG rapid and persistent,in Sept 2019, 4 days in Thyroid Cancer papilary.

Do take care and keep your thyroid in the normal range. It means your thyroid is deteriorating.
