Good day nice people!
I'm new here and new to the term hyperthyroidism. I'm very overwhelmed as the information ive read so far doesn't give me any positive perspectives.
I will appreciate any knowledge, personal experience stories or support to get my thinking on the right track.
I haven't been feeling well since mid December 2020, visibly unwell since 1st of Jan. Due to covid chaos it took me awhile to get my bloods tested. I'd appreciate any comments on the results. As getting information from GPs is like drawing blood from a turnip.
TSH <0.01. range 0.30-4.20
FT4 41.4( 2 weeks later 47.9). Range 10.5-22.8
FreeT3. 16.8. Range. 3.1 - 6.8
Anti-TRO ab. <15 kU/L. Range 0-34
As the result GP prescribed Neomercazole 40mg a day for a month.
Wouldn't it be a high dose to start with?
Waiting for a scan and was promised to get referred to endocrinologist ( 3 months' wait at the moment).
From reading the forum I understand levels of vitamins and microelements are important. Here's what I've found:
My magnesium 0.68. Range 0.7- 1
First GP said to take a supplement, then a week later said the opposite aka not to supplement as it's not low enough.hmm
Vitamine D 49 nmol/L
I can't understand it's good range. Looks like increased risk of inadequacy
GP prescribed Altavits D3 25000 IU once a week for 6 weeks. Isn't it a huge dose? Is it better to take smaller doses every day?
She also prescribed me B12 injections for 4 weeks. My B12 was 396. Range 200-1100.
Ferritin 40.0 ng/ml. Range 6.9- 282.5
After 2 weeks of taking that dose of Vit D3 my calcium went up and is a bit over the norm. Would it be advisable to take vit K in this case?
I'd appreciate any comments from people treating their hyper thyroid. Is there any hope to get it back to normal? From what I've read am I destined to take carbimazole for over half a year at least, may be longer, may be years? If unsuccessful, then they prescribe RAI...which kill thyroid,later operation and loss of this important organ.
Has any of you come across endocrinologists who do not concentrate on autoimmune causes but take into consideration the impact of the nerve centers of the periferal nervous system on the thyroid gland and treat them ?
I thank everyone for your support in advance!
