TSH staying low-Tumor?

[myohno]

Previously I was told that I just might have some thyroid issues and there was an error in antibody readings they gave me. Yesterday, I was told by my PCP, that he thinks I have a Pituitary tumor. My readings are as follows:
TSH - .24
Free T3 - 5.1                                     (2.77-5.27)  
Free T4 - .90                                     (0.78-2.19)              
LH - 57.2                                          (14.0-95.6 Midcycle)
Prolactin - 17.2                                 (2.8-26)
Thyrobglob AB - .9                            (0.0-14.4)
TPO AB <0.3                                    (0.0-3.9)
TSH Receptor AB - 7                         (0-9)

He has repeated my tests 3 times and each time my TSH has been low, and each time my T3 & T4 have been normal which is why he says the tumor. I have an MRI on Oct 2nd and I'm worried. I have been sick for 3 years, I was even in Congestive Heart Failure when they first realized I was really sick. Then they got that under control but I have not been well since! I can't tell you how many times, I've had strep throat, then virus after virus, I've been on more antibiotics than a person should be and it scares me!!! I have lost over 45 pounds and I feel like I'm on pins and needles all the time! I have to tell myself to relax because if I don't pay attention to myself, I find my head, down into my shoulders and the muscles so tense that I get horrible headaches! I'm stressed all the time and I cannot stand the cold!!!  The girls at work will laugh at me becasue it will be 73 degrees in the office and I'm absolutely FREEZING!!!  I don't get it!!  They put me on a cancer medicine that helps with nausea and vomiting because I'm always sick to my stomach! It helps but doesn't make it go away!  I can barely get my body rolling these days~I'm just exhausted in all areas, emotional, physical, you name it, I'm wiped out! I asked the doctor about this tumor and what to expect and he said radiation and surgery. His office is setting up an appointment for me to meet the endocrinologist.  I've read several of your entries and I have to say, I'm really nervous. My boyfriend tells me to stop my unecessary worrying, but is it unecessary?  I don't think radiation and surgery is uneccessary! Can you shed some light on me please???

also note..

yesterday morning when I woke up

On waking up I had loud ringing in the ears. Nothing in my bedroom was on to cause it and it seemed to surround me but eventually dulled down. This was the morning I started the antibiotics but before I took them that morning.

Woke up this morning painful and tender spot under my jaw line on left side right where the neck starts. Pushing on it feels swollen pretty noticible lump compared to other side.

any thoughts?
only thing new is just started my antibiotics again yesterday, had to stop for the Lab workup. New Antibiotic Minocycline along with my other I was already taking.

or maybe its related to my TMJ popping?

All my labs from 2008 NOV to 01 Oct 2009 are posted in my albums.

Any input?
The ones from 25SEP 2009 and 01Oct2009 came from the Endocrinologist.

yeah for sure been going thru the ringer

by "subclinical hyperthyroidism" i believe it just means your TSH is supressed but your T3 and T4 are still in normal range. I think it means before the disease begins, like catching it before the symptoms start but not really in my case considering thats how I know something is wrong because of the symptoms.

Ill let you know what the rest of these labs come back as. Cant get them till start of next week so we will see.

just becareful what you allow doctors to prescribe you and what you let them do to your body. They make mistakes to. Even if they diagnose me with hyperthyroidism or whatever, Im not letting them take my thyroid or kill it off some or go on pills just yet. I want to find out why it all of a sudden started. My thyroid was fine in April of this year.
I dont want anything removed or messed with if it doesnt need to be you know? With this **** ive been through with these docs and see more misdiagnosis from them, Ill allow them only to do labs haha

Oh my gosh! You have really been through the ringer! I just hate it when they use the "panic attack" thing! Actually it pisses me off! I have worked in the medical field for years and I have seen WAY too many times that they say that and then later they find it's something serious! The sad part is that there are so many hypochondriacs out there that they get in the way of us sick people so by the time we get to the doctor, they are burned out and just assume we're another one. I can't stand that!  You clearly are running abnormal labs and that's what mine are doing!  My TSH stays low and now I've lost over 50 pounds! I love it, I needed to loose it, but it's just dropping off! My skin is just hanging and because I'm so sick all the time, I dont' have the energy to exercise!  So what does a person do? Can you tell me more about what she meant by "subclinical hypertyroidism"? Maybe I need to ask about that too! I want all my labs done before I see the endo because it's too hard to get scheduled so many times and so far apart! I want to feel better now!!!! Or at least in the next year! hahahahah. I've said this so many times but I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My MRI came back negative! So now he's going to order the thyroid scan. Now, if that comes back negative, then what should I ask for next? If my TSH stays low, and my T3 & T4 stays normal....then what? I've now lost over 50 pounds!  Already catching another virus or something and it hasn't been 3 weeks since strep throat!!! But that's exactly how it's been, for 3 years!

I'm open to all your suggestions!
