Hello there. I hope I could tell to the point all my symptoms. I been into roller coaster ride for years with so many doctors, lab test and been misdiagnosed for other dse's. To make it short someone introduced me to look for the thyroid problem maybe it's an autoimmune dse. I visited again with other endo hoping she will see me and eventually treat me though but my hopes hungs up. My financial drain because of it I'de nowhere to go. I am a medical missionary before but I stop. I even can't think clearly now have mental fogg, Lossing weight have been bloated for years palpatation everywhere, and now my tummy aches I can't sleep because of the discomforts that gives me. I have a history of low potassium before. I have pcos too on my left side ovary, my eyes on right side has dark spot that it comes and goes, I have urge to vomit, LBM( low bowel movement) always peeing, I felt cold esp on my extremeties all the time my hair is thining and I am 30 years old single. I do have Insulin Resistance too. I hope someone on here could take a look at my labs...

Please help me.

Welcome to the forum, Cheeky1896_megy.

Your thyroid levels are euthyroid (normal). 'Bilateral thyroid parenchymal disease' means your thyroid gland is diseased. You need thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibody tests to determine whether the disease is autoimmune (Hashimoto's) which causes 90% of thyroid disease.

I am so sorry you are having such a tough time! I am not a medical person, but your thyroid tests look pretty good to me just based on what I have read and experienced myself. I would suspect that you have some severe nutritional deficiencies and would benefit from a comprehensive nutrient and amino acid analysis, but these are expensive and not likely available to you. There is a metabolic function analysis questionnaire that you can take that might give you some clarity about where you are in terms of how your system processes foods and what you should be eating and supplementing. Metabolic typing does not attempt to treat , mitigate, diagnose, or cure any type of disease. Rather its main objective is to balance your body's chemistry. The workbook which includes the questionnaire is available at drkelley dot info/dr-kelleys-metabolic-typing/ for a description the book - it does cost about $45 but there is a lot of info right there on the site as well as recommendations for diet changes.

Your free T3 could be a little higher. Have thyroid antibodies checked.

Are you on a gluten free diet? Or better yet, a low carb diet, with the PCOS?

Two tests that might be extremely helpful are a DUTCH test, dried test of comprehensive hormones. It's very detailed and shows all the hormone metabolites. I had surgical menopause (hysterectomy) and it's been valuable in getting my hormones adjusted.

The second is a Genova Diagnostics NutrEval, which would identify nutrient deficiencies. Both have sample tests on their websites do you can see what they do.

Sounds like you need good data to make good decisions. Andcmybe a different doctor?

Kind wishes.
