I recently had blood work done, and my TSH was 0.01 L, with the Reference Range being 3.40-4.50 mIU/L
I take 125MCG of LEVOTHYROXIN daily, and have done so for the past 19 years. This is the first time
I had an abnormal thyroid level. Do I need to increase the amount of Levothyroxin?
Do I have Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism. Since it has the letter L after the 0.01 would I not have
Hypothryoidism? I am confused by what I read from other people who have a Low thyroid range but are
said to have hyperthyroidism. I have recently gained 15 lbs, but I have been eating donuts and twinkies
lately, not for my entire diet, but as snacks at night. I am unable to fall asleep, I have alot of swelling in
my legs, ankles and feet, but I had a DOPPLER test which showed no DVN (deep venous thrombosis).
I am on Lisinophril HCTZ 10/12.5 mg daily. My blood pressure today was 123/53. I have had a Xylocaine
injection into my left knee, and cortisone for pain. The knee is bone to bone without a cusion. I do not walk
that much, but was told I need to. I have no automobile so ride the MITS bus when I need to. I could never
kneel down, nor sit on the floor as it is difficult to get up.
Hope you can help me.
