My sed rate has always been elevated, for the last 8 yrs. also when your HYPERthyroid everything seems to be out of whack! I am just now getting normal lab results, besides I am a little anemic and a little low on calcium, and my parathyroid hormone level is a little elevated. It took about 4 months for me to start feeling better =) Now I am just tired from being HYPOthyroid, hopefully I get into see my new Endo very soon!!

Found this for a little more info on you.

Yes getting your levels are a major part of getting better but you also have a very concerning PH alkaline level that could be a major part of why your hyperthyroidism is rearing.

Being extremely acidic which you are = can have a direct relation to cancer but that is in cases I don't think really apply here at all for you at this time. Being acidic will make you sick and if you are looking into gullbladder disease also you may have a ton of reasons why things are going hay-wire.

How much reading have you done to increase a neutralizing process for yourself to rid the high Level acid levels? I think that is something you strongly should read about to get those levels under control.

Yes I was diagnosed today with hyperthyroidism.. No surprise with my numbers like that.
Im really nervous about all of this. I dont do well with meds and there are only two different meds for hyper. I have to get my levels back to normal before anything else can be done. Im not even sure what is going to be done. My doc is gonna call me in a few I  just spoke with him.
He walked into the room today and said your "sick" ! Im like i know I have been trying to tell you that. He had to call my cardio today beings that I already have issues there, and then he was gonna make some calls to the other specialist as well and make appt for me for ultra sound. I have been feeling sick all day.
I had a hida scan for my gallbladder on 6/3 of this yr and ever since I have not been well just boom like that I had all of the sypmtoms.
I felt feverish at night but cold lost weight, my  pulse resting pulse wouldnt go below 90 and its usually around 95-97 some times 100 after I eat its always over 100 so I dont want to eat. Now at night I am very sweaty when sleeping going to the bathroom more often as in bowl movements my eyes seem sucken in I had two lumps on thyroid now three and its gotten bigger since monday even doctor said it was. The front of my neck hurts my throat hurts it hurts to touch the thyroid. I am a BIG mess.
Do you have hyperthroidism? if so what med are you on and what what symptoms did you have or have?

Your blood test results indicate that you are hyperthyroid.  Have you been diagnosed with a thyroid condition?  Are you on thyroid medication?  

It's typical for T3 and T4 (are those free or total?) to be high when TSH is low.  

What, if any, symptoms do you have?
