i'm very concerned and could really use some expert advice

[elenawilk]

i'm a 32 yr old female who has always been in great health.
past 6 months or so i have been feeling horrible.

fatugue, mood swings, freezing all the time, constipated, loosing hair, depressed, migraines, and the list goes on.....

4 months ago primary ran blood work and thyroid was 4.5
last week gyno ran blood work and thyroid was 8.475- i was told to see primary asap because this is too high
yesterday i visited primary who ran blood again and the thyroid is now 7.1

my primary said that the gyno didn't know what he was talking about, said ANYTHING UNDER 30 SHOULDN'T BE TREATED!!!!!!                

PLEASE TELL ME IF I SHOULD SEE ANOTHER DR?  I'M STARTING TO THINK I'M CRAZY!!!!!!!

The TSH is high -- with this pattern it is likely Hashimoto's (test TPO and Tg antibodies) and given your symptoms, treatment may be quite helpful.  There is some debate about when to treat, but most of us would likely treat with this scenario.  Any TSH >10 should be treated...

First of all you are not crazy,  what test result was it that was 7.1 if it was TSH then this does indictate especially with the symptoms you describe that you may be hypothyroid.  as the member above suggests you should really have full blood tests done, and try and find a doctor who understands the need to treat both the blood tests and the symptoms.  Youreally don't have to put up with feeling like this.  I suffered for some time with a doctor who seemed to think everything was stress reated. finally being treated for hypo not quite right yet but getting there,  DON'T GIVE UP.

Full thyroid panel blood test is necessary as a first step, including TPO/TG antibodies.
