I recently visited my doctor for symptoms which include:
intoleranceCeliac disease - sprue
Gestational diabetes
Lactose intolerance to cold, very cold
handsHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor and feet, poor
memoryMemory loss
Mental status tests,
rapidRapid shallow breathing heart beat that lasts only a few seconds 1-2 times a month, dizziness, lightheadedness, slight nausea, and the inablity to lose last 15 lb, no matter how much I exercise.
My doctor did a
TSHPituitary and tsh
Tsh test for hypothyroidism which came back as .41. I didn't notice any tests for
T3 and T4. Should this be done also? One more thing, the lab test showed very low RF titers. I don't know what that is and my doctor didn't make mention of it. Does it have any relevance?
Thank you,
Tracy
