Hello all, been a while.
About 5 years ago I had very bad symptoms, at the time I was found to have Vit D of 7, and B12 of 15. My antibodies were elevated but all others bloods were in range. My GP wouldn't do anything other than initial doses of vit D, so I started to supplement D3 and B12 and went gluten free. The symptoms improved and I stopped sleeping 14 hours a day, although I was never back to my pre hashi self.
Then I started to get pain in my hands and I have been seeing a consultant for Rheumatoid Arthritis, while inflammatory markers were all low and within range, x-rays showed changes to my hands and I was prescribed Hydroxychloroquine, the swelling in my hands has now reduced as has the pain, although I do have problems with my hips and shoulders.
An ultrasound several years ago showed 9 nodules on my thyroid, I saw a Endo Consultant last year who said my TSH was normal and nothing was wrong, lots of people have nodules and elevated antibodies.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do next?
I'm not sure I have the energy to try and reason with my GP about trying a trial of Levo. I am back to sleeping 12+ hours a day, a 20 minute swim wipes me out for days, and the debilitating fatigue is back, I have had night sweats for 5+ years, but this has been checked and is not due to diabetes or menopause. Below is my latest panel of results via medicheck:
