About Me: Male, 41, Chicago, IL, member since Aug 2011
I have a TSH of 13.25 uiUI/ml and free T4 of 0.88 ng/dL WITH Thyroid peroxidase Ab's.

I might have some hypo symptoms?? Fatigue, anxiety FOT SURE!, loss of sexual drive.
I have recovered from Lyme DZ 2 years ago. Took crazy combinations of high dose orals and IV Rocephin for ~4-5 yrs. Was REAL sick on 'em. Even low dose abx.
Now, I dont get sick on Abx....I consider myself "cured".
However, I still have those hypothyroid symptoms,,,,mild (maybe some other pathological reason?), but hypo runs on my maternal side. Mother has NO thyroid and survives on levoxine. She definitely gave me her thyroid peroxidase Ab's during childbirth.
Would / will I eventually need intervention? What would somatoropin do? Only raise TSH?
Would that be necessarily bad?
I also have low Ca2+. I drink alot of Milk too and take a multi.
