My daughter, age 16, has had weight loss (106 down to 95 in a couple of months time), breathlessness, extreme fatigue as in needing a nap as soon as she gets home from school and hardly making it through the day, puffy eyelids (looks like she cries a lot, though she doesn't), dry skin on her face, brittle hair, but that could be from straightener, extremely painful periods that litterally make her sick to her stomach.
She went to her doctor (October) and they did blood work. Her thyroid (TSH) came back .5 but the doc said, "below normal" and ordered a second lab in 1 month, which we did on 11/10. We are thinking that she is Hyper and I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions on this. I am also unsure what the doc means by saying that .5 is below normal when I have seen that normal range is .3 - 3.(?) Or she could have been saying that it was .5 but not 'optimum'? Can .5 still cause hyper symptoms?
I am waiting to hear back from the records department to get a copy of her lab work and I will be asking for a copy of her current results when they come in.
Thank you so much for your help.
Liz.
