TSH.. 0.05..gp concerned

[birkie]

Morning everyone ❤️

Well I'm just about pulling what hair I have left out😠 I had an appointment yesterday with this concerned gp who says my suppressed TSH is not good for my health. The results are:

April 7th 2021..TSH..0.05...range.. 0.30...4.50)...T3...5.9..range.. 3.10..6.80)..T4..2..range.. 11.00..22.00 ( on T3 medication only)

Aug 23rd 2021..TSH..(15.12..range.. 0.03..4.50)...T3..6.6...range.. 3.10..6.80)...T4...(2.8...range.. (11.00...22.00). I have no idea why the TSH was this high I've been on 40mg (T3) take it with water no food for one hour before /after.. I have another TSH over (Feb 1st 2021..TSH..14.5..range (0.03..4.50)...T3...3...range.. (3.10.. 6.80)..T4..2.8..range.. (11.00..22.00) T3 medication at 40mg(split in to 3)

Dec 20th 2021...TSH...0.05..range..( 0.03..4.50)...T3..6.4...range (3.10..6.80)...no T4 done.. This and the April 7th 2021 results are the ones she is concerned about, saying these are suppressed TSH and are bad for my health ( I'm sorry this post sounds familiar I did post a few days ago about this🙏) she is now consulting with an endo on my next move.. Ok so yesterday as I said above I had an appointment with this gp, it took every bit of strength I have left to attend only to be seen by a practice nurse as the gp was off ill the practice nurse had no idea what I was talking about and readily told me she as no knowledge of thyroid conditions... So why was I their🤷‍♀️.. She told me about the gp consulting with an endocrinologist, this I already knew! but their was nothing more she could help me with! She did however make an appointment with this gp for this Monday. I really I'm at a loss as to what to say to this gp🤷‍♀️ since 2020 my calcium and parathyroid hormone as being bouncing around from over to mid, normal, I feel awful but don't think this is due to my T3 medication like the gp is saying, this is such a uphill struggle and stressful time as I'm clearly not well, my symptoms are constantly weeing day/night 6,7,8 times) I never really get more than 2 and a half 3 hours sleep, exhausted, tremor, shaking, buzzing sensation in lower legs (bones) headache, fast heartbeat (this can also be because of to much calcium) very bad bone /joint pains, sweating, and just a feeling of not being well. Been diagnosed with ostiopeania in spine and neck, passed kidney stones, calcific tendinitis, calcification in joints and heart all indicative of primary hyperparathyroidism, but endo says I don't have this condition 😠

Thank you for anyone who can give my some advice on how to proceed at my appointment on Monday 👍

**added for clarification in June 2022 "Aug 23rd 2021..TSH..(15.12..range.. 0.03..4.50)...T3..6.6...range.. 3.10..6.80)...T4...(2.8...range.. (11.00...22.00). I have no idea why the TSH was this high I've been on 40mg "

The TSH was probably high due to taking no T3 at all for at least 5 days around the 15th Aug, and then testing on 23rd Aug . The dose taken at the time of that august tests was 25mcg T3 not 40 as stated in this post ~ and self increases to 30mcg and 40mcg have happened since that august test based on the incorrect TSH meaning the increases were probably unnecessary.
