Confused...Contrasting symptoms
by mississippimom05, Sep 18, 2007 05:08PM
So I am pretty confused. I went to the doctor this afternoon (general physician) and he believes that I am having thyroid issues, but I am having contrasting symptoms from both hypo and hyper. He was concerned about my muscle weakness and my reflexes that were also very weak. He is sending me for a slew of tests tomorrow including CBC, CMP, Lipids, TSH, ESR, CPK, and ANA. All of my symptoms according to the doctor pointed to hyper, but I have been gaining weight over the past year or two. Can a person have contrasting symptoms or symptoms of both hyper and hypo? I have been researching it and know if it is hypo the TSH will come back over 5-6. What will the TSH come back if it is hyper?

I would think that you could jump from each one though. It seems like to me I do the same thing, one symptom goes with one and another goes with the other....LOL...ok now I am confused just writing that !!!!! Good thing he is running all those test too that is a step in the right direction. What about an endo do you think he will refer you to one ?

Not all hyper lose weight and some gain. Not all hypos will gain and some will lose. Weight issues is an individual matter and genetic.
The other ladies are correct too.
We can't second guess which thyroid issue we have. Test are the only way to a diagnose and for us to know for sure.
