Brain hog and weakness.

[sushantgauta]

I am gaining weight and fell brain hog + weakness all the time. TSH 3.01 and T4 15.6. I have muscles pain and concentration problem. What might be the solution? Does the report show something?

High ER level as well.

Sure. Thank you very much for concerns.

Hi the most obvious one the thing that stands out is the RF (Rheumatoid factor) is positive and that your ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is raised. I'd have a look at the following;

1) nras.org.uk/laboratory-test...

Laboratory tests used in the diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis

2) nhs.uk/conditions/rheumatoi...

Diagnosis

- Rheumatoid arthritis

Do you have rheumatoid arthritis you did not mention it but if you don't, I think you should probably make an appointment with your GP to discuss the results and any symptoms that you are experiencing?

As the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society says in the first article rheumatoid arthritis is commonly diagnosed using RF, ESR and CRP. Positive Rheumatoid factor (RF), raised erthrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and raised C-reactive protein (CRP) can indicate rheumatoid arthritis.

In your case your RF is positive and ESR is raised but your CRP is not, so I think a visit to the GP would be in order to discuss the results. Positive RF can indicate other autoimmune conditions such as Sjogrens so I think your best seeing the GP and discussing it with them.

I think if I were you I'd have about some of the tests before hand, good luck I'm sure there will be a few more replies about your TSH etc
