My wife has multiple hypothyroid symptoms, low blood pressure, low body temperature, cold extremities, dizzy spells, constant headaches and migraines, unexplained bruising, chest pains, constipation/gastro-intestinal problems, change in body odor, weight gain with swelling in abdomen, legs, ankles, and feet, higher cholesterol, irregular/heavy periods, loss of libido, etc. etc.
Mentally, she has/is suffering from depression, paranoia, anxiety, forgetfullness, hysterics, and few cases of delusions. She also has undergone a total personality change where she now hates me, with a big reason being I think she has a medical problem. (She is adament that she is fine.)
Our oldest son is also acting weird. He ran away in November and Mom and him moved out shortly after. Both of their behaviors have worsened over the past 6 months with little interaction with me. But they still blame me for everything.
My son has had two blood tests, the most recent last week.
April 4th, 2006
Free T4 -- 0.9 (0.8 to 1.8 for 12 to 17 year olds)
TSH -- 0.01 (0.4 to 5)
May 3rd, 2006
Free T3-- 2.6 (2.3-4.2)
Free T4-- 0.5 (0.5-1.1) Note Range Difference from Above
Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin
111% ((0 to 129%)
TSH (3rd Generation)-- 24.323 (0.4 to 5.1)
TSH Receptor Ab-- <5% (<10)
What I'm reading is that in 1 month his TSH went from undetectable to now almost 5 times above the reference range. I now have no idea what to think. But whatever he has, I'm sure it's what my wife has. Any incite would be appreciated.
