Doctor thinks I have Thyroid problems.

[GERDNERD]

I told my doctor about my symptoms, and he sent me for various tests including Thyroid.  Here they are: Nausea, Headache, Fatigue(bout 2 weeks), dark urine, joint pains, abdominal pains(all over but sometimes upper right side), macular rash on chest, low grade fever(99.1), easily bruising, long time for wounds to heal, itchy skin all over, lower back pain, loss of appetite, weight loss(15lbs), bone pain, chills, and night sweats.

This sound consistent with Thyroid issues?  I didn't tell the doctor this but I have had a problem with cold weather and dealing with the cold.  And a Petechiea showed up on my chest(small red dot).

Thank you Goolarra!

And that's interesting, armywife92.  So I can be a few small points over or under the "norm" and still be okay?  I think I'll be alright then... me hopes.  

And yes, I'm a anxious, stressed, hypochondriac.  But it doesn't hurt to be safe, you know?

Your CBC looks fine, if there is no *H*(high) or *L*(low) next to your bloodwork, it means normal. I read your other thread, you seem to be slightly paranoid, lol.

Your TSH is within reference range, both the range your lab uses and the "new" range suggested by AACE (0.3-3.0).  It indicates that your thyroid is "normal".  However, without FT3 and FT4 to confirm, a TSH test isn't definitive.

Anyone know!?  Please!

Hey, Laura!

I got my results today.  I didn't get them from a doctor so these results are confusing to me.

Unfortunetly, it seems all I had done was the TSH... or so it seems.

They are as follows:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, 3rd Gen

TSH 3rd Gen (mIU/L):  2.56(0.40 - 4.50) mIU/L  

The heck does this mean?  And thanks again, Laura, you seem really cool!

The very best thing to do is to get your thyroid lab results as they will take the guessing out of it. Hopefully you had the proper tests run and not just a TSH. You should have had at least a FREE T4 run with the TSH. Make sure to get a copy of your labs and post your thyroid results here with ranges for us to look at. :)
