Hi

I had similar issues with my neck

I was told that I have anxiety due to my shaking

I was also told that my TSH is normal on a few occasions

I went to get my TPO done privately that’s when I was told I have a start of Graves’ disease

I would get T3 T4 TPO TRAB TEST DONE

I thought more that you know, I don’t really have symptoms for hyper, I am extremely cold intolerant and am never warm except on my period when I’m boiling.

My mum was just diagnosed with POTS, my sisters all show varying degrees of Dysautonomia and joint hyper mobility. My Nanna has rheumatoid arthritis and had a stroke in her 50s, my mum also had something wrong with her bowl and had to have most of her large intestine removed. That’s about all I know

Can I also ask what makes you suspect that? Going to the GP next week and want to be armed with knowledge!

Yeah always cold, have put a stone on this year, constipated, my muscles hurt so much and I’m getting shooting pains in my hands and arms so I definitely fit the hypo profile more than hyper.

Should I ask to be tested for both Hashimoto and graves then? Will they do that?

Also my T4 was 22 which is the highest number in the normal bracket (it was 12-22) and the TSH was 0.06 which is low but I can’t find anything on Dr Google about that, most say the T4 should be high too to be considered hyper - is that was makes you suspect Hashimoto?
