Lab work confusion
by ejd768, Feb 20, 2008 07:28PM
Hi Dr Lupo
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroid since Oct. 2007. I am currently on meds. My latest labs are
tpo (ab) 104
tsh 0.013
t3 4.8
t4 1.36
cortisol 12.9
I am so confused and I don't understand why body is so out of whack!
My initial symptoms were exhaustion. weight gain..35lbs in 10 months (120 to 155lbs), muscle weakness and stiffness, heart palps and unable to sleep ( I was so sleepy but still couldn't sleep).
The tsh is clearly Hyperthyroid, but I cannot tell any difference in my symptoms since I started the meds in Oct. I am still gaining weight, exhausted, muscle stiffness and terrible swelling in my legs.
I am completely miserable and begining to wonder if I will ever get my life back.
