Still feeling rubbish..

[Bellini34]

I posted on here a while ago regarding my blood test results and although I still feel the same (hair loss/extremely tired/eyebrow loss) I have a new symptom a drooping eyelid on one side, I had a little look online and it came up as a symptom of hyperthyrodism (who knew?) so I requested my latest blood test results this morning from my doctor and all my doctor let me know was that I am slightly low in vitamin D so I am currently taking vitamins.

I would be grateful if anyone could look at my results and make head or tail of them before I go back to see the doctor, I've been back and forth in tears for 7 months and I am told there is nothing wrong with me. I've got 4 pages of them though so don't know which one I should be posting...I'll start with the first page

SERUM TSH level 3 mu/L (thats at the bottom of the page which might be hard to see)

Are you on levo or trying to get a diagnosis?

[Bellini34 in reply to puncturedbicycle]

I'm on no medication currently. Just taking some vitamins

Bellini34,

5 months ago TSH was 2. It is now 3 which indicates your thyroid function is getting worse. NHS won't usually diagnose hypothyroidism until TSH is over range (often 5 or 6) or FT4 is below range.

High MCV: can indicate B12 deficiency or folate deficiency labtestsonline.org/understa...

I just want to know why at 35 years old I need to take naps during the day (when I'm not at work) why I feel so tired at work sometimes I actually cry.

If my thyroid function needs to get to 4 or 5 before my doctor realises something isn't right, how bad am I going to feel by then?

It's quite depressing and that's without the hair loss and losing my eyebrows thrown into the mix!

Will read those links. Thank you.

Do you have t3 results? If they're low they can make you feel awful.

The usual approach is to build up your nutrients (if anything looks low in your blood tests) which can help your thyroid work a bit better. Over time subsequent bloods will reveal which way you're going.

Low iron, b12, d can make you feel awful too, and low iron in particular can make you feel depressed, fatigued and lead to hair loss.
