For Dr Mark Lupo

[xammax]

I have  these  symptoms.  Tired, cold, joint pain, muscle pain, swelling in fingers , high blood pressure, total loss of hearing above 2,500 cycles, tinnitus , dentist couldn't freeze my gums with 2 needles of Carbocaine  .
I had a thyroid ultrasound that showed a nodule of 7 mm. Blood work showed TSH 2.15 ( range .465 to 4.68 )  FT4 was  11.17 ( range 10.0 to 28.2 ) Total T3 was 2.02 ( range .92 to 2.79 )
TPO antibody test was 99.  The doctor said because the TSH was in range I didn't require any medication or no other tests on the nodule.
Could you please give me your opinion. Thanks

Dr Lupo rarely visits on this side of the community board - He relies on the Expert side.

I can say however - if you are experiencing symptoms as you describe you are symptomatically sub clinical hypothyroid.
