If the TSH is 600 - this means severe hypothyroidism -- and the need to take levothyroxine replacement. This would explain your symptoms.
PTU is an anti-thyroid medication -- which would not be helpful for hypothyroidism.
From these numbers, the I-131 "knocked out" your thyroid and now you are hypothyroid.
I agree with Stella,Go back to the doc with a parent or older person that can ask the doctor about these results and what they mean.
I really think its possible there is an error on the TSH lab sheet - or you may be missing a decimal point.
My thoughts would be
.600
6.0
60.0
Are you sure this is a 6 0 0 . tsh? It would be very odd that after a TSH of 600 a licensed doctor would continue you on a PTU - anti-thyroid medication.
Something has to be off with the way this is being communicated. Unless the blood test shows a decimal (.) point in front of your TSH - you would not be hypER thyroid - you would be hypo and discontinuing ANTi thyroid meds would be done and Levothyroxine or desiccated thyroid would be used to stabilze your hormones.
There are many antibody testing available to determine autoimmune disease w/thyroid
Common tests are:
TPOab - Hashimoto
Tgab
TSI - Graves
You only say "antibody" tests were done. Which one?
If you are certain these are correct labs and your doctor is still administering PTU's you need to go back to that office - preferrably with a family advocant and re examine your treatment plan. Then if still continued - get a second opinion as soon as possible.
That's not correct. For some reason, it doesn't show the data I typed.
t4 is14.2, tsh is 600, and Antithyroglobulin 265
that's weird. looks like I accidentally erased part of it. It is:
TSH 600
Antithyroglobulin Ab: 265
My throat keeps bothering me and I feel a bit tire.
Thanks
Sorry, that's "so how are you feeling?"
Hi! You need "Free" t-4 and T-3 tests to see where your thyroid hormones are now. Are you sure your tsh is 600?Maybe it's 6.0? Even so you are HYPO thyroid now, according to your tsh. Antithyrglobulin is an antibody test, and is usually found hIgh in Hashi's patients but Graves have them too.It doesn't really prove Graves. That's A tsi test. How so you feel?
