Hi everyone,
I just got told by my GP that I have an overactive thyroid and I have an endo appointment in November. I don't have the blood results but I was told I was very definitely out of range for TSH and FT4.
THe thing is I had the bloods done because I have been extremely tired and have had rapid weight gain. There's a strong family history of hypo and I just assumed that was the problem. I have also had trouble sleeping at night (but crashing out regularly through the day, feelings of anxiety, tremors and acne.
I was found to be B12 and folate deficient last year. I have B12 injections and took a course of Folate last year and they are both now ithin range. I am also prescribed vitamin B strong compound and thiamine and they are within range.
Does anyone know what's going on?
I feel really poorly at the moment...
Thanks!
Autoimmune thyroid disorders can cause swings from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism. You might want to consider eating a gluten free diet which seems to help a lot of people.
I'm not using my computer, so can't provide you with links I've posted previously, but Chris Kresser's website has a lot of useful ebooks & articles on thyroid health & autoimmune disorders.
I'll have a look- thanks!
