High thyroid antibodies help!

9 Replies

Ten years ago I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem-high thyroid antibodies and a scan showed a chronically inflamed thyroid.

Complete health dysfunction-flu like, sore neck/throat, pain, extreme fatigue.I saw an endo in London who was kind and suggested thyroiditis but said that the thyroid was functioning.

Three years ago private scan and endo same conclusion.Been doing private bloods.Lowest TSH 0.58 miu/L 0.35-4.94miu/L April 2020.

Ten years on same scenario with GP saying results are normal?Total fatigue, ears buzzing, depression, fybromyalgia and barely coping with part time work.My son has type 1 diabetes so autoimmune issues are in the family.

My question is do I start taking thyroid medication myself and how much or is there a sympathetic endo out there who would prescribe based on symptoms.

I have only posted the antibodies because I can’t yet see how to post more.I will try.

Any ideas gratefully received.Thank you all for your knowledge and time.

You can post further images - one per "Reply" - but clicking on the rectangle with mountains in, the last icon below the reply box.

However, why not just type them in, will take longer if you're going to put just one result per image per reply.

Thank you Seaside Susie.Do you mean, for example, the screenshot that I sent 0-200?

Just the green part of the bar, so with the above it would be 0-34.

Or check out the downloadable pdf which shows your results with their normal ranges using the "view printable results" button on your dashboard once you've logged in.

Your results will then look like this:

Thank you for replying SlowDragon.I haven’t had a coeliac test and will do.I take selenium, fish oils, D3, iron, ubiquinol, n-acetyl-L-cysteine partly to help with irritable bladder and uti’s.

I am working towards being gluten free.
