Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism and Chronic Pancreatitis

[Iambremaec]

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I posted on here. I’ve had Hypothyroidism and Hypoglycemia since I was in my early 20’s. Then in my 50’s I had the left side of my thyroid removed because of a fine needle biopsy done on nodules in the left thyroid that came back suspicious. At my follow up appointment the surgeon said I had Hashimoto’s. Around 15-20 years ago I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia and now at the beginning of 2022 I was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis. I have also had daily migraines since I was 13. The middle of last month my TSH came back at 15.68 H (0.34 - 5.60) and my FREE T-4 0.53 L (0.62 - 1.23). A week later the doctor retook it and the TSH was 10.22 which is still high and the T-4 was .60 so my doctor increased my Levothyroxin from 112 to 125. I’ve only been on the new dosage for about a week so I don’t know if it’s helping yet. My question is has anyone on here been diagnose with Chronic Pancreatitis and if so does anyone know if it is connected to Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism. So far the doctors haven’t been able to figure out how I got Chronic Pancreatitis. Any help or info will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you in advance, Bre.
